We are happy to announce the launch of the Secrets of Egypt collection! We built it around one idea: you don’t just wear a pendant - you wear a story. Each piece is an amulet-style symbol tied to Egyptian myth, protection rituals, royal power, and the “eternal life” theme that runs through the entire civilization.
This isn’t costume “Egypt-core.” It’s clean, elegant jewelry that lets the symbol do the heavy lifting - the meaning, the mood, the presence.
6 best Egyptian symbols to explore
1. Pendant “Eye of Horus”, protection and restoration
The Eye of Horus is one of the strongest “protective amulet” symbols in the entire Egyptian canon. And the story behind it is literally about damage, recovery, and becoming whole again.
In the myth, Horus loses an eye in his fight with Seth, and it’s magically restored, so the Udjat became a symbol of being made whole again. Ancient Egyptians used it as a protective amulet and tied it to healing, well-being, and safe passage into the afterlife.
- Meaning: protection, healing, restoration; linked to Horus and the restored eye myth.
- Vibe: calm authority. Not loud. Not decorative. Just sharp.
- Best for: anyone rebuilding after a hard season, starting over, regaining clarity.
2. Pendant “Ankh”, the Symbol of Life
The Ankh is instantly recognizable, but this version leans into “talisman” instead of tourist souvenir. It reads modern, minimal, intentional.
The Ankh is literally the hieroglyph for “life,” and in temple art gods often hold it out to pharaohs as a sign of life-force and continued existence beyond death. That’s why it reads like a simple shape with a huge message: life, breath, continuity.
- Meaning: life, immortality, divine energy; also framed as harmony of masculine and feminine energies.
- Best for: gifting (it’s universally understandable), or as a daily “I choose life / I choose myself” anchor.
3. Pendant “Anubis”, truth and inner protection
Anubis is not “cute mythology.” It’s a symbol of truth-testing, justice, and staying clean inside when the world is messy.
Anubis is the jackal-headed guardian linked to mummification and protecting the dead on their journey. Priests even wore Anubis masks during embalming rituals to represent his presence. In the Hall of Judgment he’s shown weighing the heart, so the symbol carries a “live true” meaning, not just a dark-mystic vibe.
- Meaning: protection and spiritual strength; connected to the weighing of the heart and the idea of living honestly.
- Best for: people who lead, decide, negotiate, build, and need a reminder to stay aligned.
4. Pendant “Cartouche of Nebkheperura”, identity, and royal protection
A cartouche is basically “your name held inside protection.”
A cartouche is an oval frame enclosing a royal name, essentially an expanded “shen ring” meant to encircle and protect the ruler’s identity from harm in life and after death. Nebkheperure is Tutankhamun’s throne name, commonly translated as “the possessor of the manifestation of Re,” so it blends legacy and authority with solar power symbolism.
- Meaning: royal authority, divine protection, eternal life; connected to the Shen ring and eternity symbolism.
- Best for: a signature piece when you want status without flexing.
5. Pendant “Scarab Unfolds Its Wings”, rebirth and momentum
The winged scarab reads like movement. It’s not just “renewal”, it’s renewal with velocity.
The scarab is tied to Khepri (the morning-sun aspect of Re) because Egyptians associated the beetle’s rolling motion with the sun’s daily journey and renewal. Winged scarab amulets were used for rebirth and protection, and examples were placed on the chest of the deceased to support safe transformation in the afterlife.
- Meaning: rebirth, resilience, transformation; modern association with success, abundance, prosperity.
- Best for: new chapter energy - career shifts, launches, relocations, reinventions.
6. Pendant “Cat of Bastet
This pendant is built around Bastet, the Egyptian goddess tied to home, protection, fertility, and feminine power.
In art she’s often shown as a cat-headed goddess, a protective figure whose “calm + fierce” duality made her a natural symbol for safeguarding what you love.
Bastet’s cult center was Bubastis (Tell Basta), and her popularity grew into major public festivals and a long-lasting tradition of feline symbolism in Egyptian daily life. That’s the origin behind wearing a cat amulet not as “cute jewelry,” but as a sign of guarded space, inner strength, and loyal protection.
- Meaning: Bastet isn’t just “the cat goddess.”
Historically, she sits on the line between tenderness and force - the familiar cat that protects the household, and the lioness-power that punishes threats (a theme often discussed alongside Sekhmet). That’s why this pendant reads as soft strength, boundaries without aggression.
- Best for: people who want a protective talisman with a calm, elegant look
Sum up
VarVar Jwelry created Secrets of Egypt for people who don’t buy jewelry just to decorate. You wear a symbol because it matches your season: protection, clarity, renewal, life force, inner truth, or guarded strength. If you want a piece that feels personal the moment you put it on, start with the symbol that hits you first, then build your set around it.
