"Inspired by Ancient Jewelry"

 We have 4 stunning entries this month

E² - Esther Eve

 "When I was a child I studied Egyptian relics, borderline obsessive, in particular the scarab. The Egyptians worshiped the beetle, and that was so fascinating to me. They believed that the young Sun God, Kephri (the beetle) pushed Ra (the sun) into the sky from the underworld each morning. They also adorned grave sites and tombs with scarabs to ensure safe passage into the afterlife."

The finished piece: " I used a trilobite fossil as a representation of my scarab, and etched some similar glyphs on a tablet suspended below"

Andrea -  Artigiano Jewel Box  

" Inspired by the Indian custom of hennas tattoo that I've been wanting to complete since last year..."
