The Egyptian Shop is a purveyor of personalised Egyptian hieroglyphic cartouche jewellery since the year 2000.

The design of these beautiful pendants is more than 5000 years old! Worn in those days only by royalty, the Cartouche ('Kartoosh') was both a symbol of its wearer's importance and a charm against ill-fortune. The Pharaoh's name was enclosed in an oval ring, signifying a circle of protection against evil, both in this world and the next.

Our artisans and craftsmen in Egypt can recreate this elegant design in 18k gold and personalise it just for you, with your name spelled out in hieroglyphic symbols. Your link with history and its magic - your own name enclosed in its protective circle of gold. A future heirloom for you and your family to treasure!


Your special, personalised cartouches are all hand-made in Egypt. The silver and gold cartouches on which your name glyphs are arranged are also all made in Egypt. Only genuine gold and silver Egyptian cartouches carry a hallmark from the Egyptian government. All jewellers should send their cartouches to be stamped in this way. This mark is your guarantee of metal purity. Silver cartouches have the number 800 written on them in Arabic (which looks like an upside down "V" followed by two dots). Gold cartouches have the number 18 written on them in Arabic (a number 1 followed by an upside-down "V").

Our clients usually prefer to receive hallmarked goods but if you do not wish your item to be marked in this way please tell us. Be advised that by doing so you waive your right to this guarantee of precious metal quality.
