Hieroglyph Signet Ring

Artist: Alex Hossick

The Hieroglyph Signet Ring is composed of symbols - the focus of the piece being on a small eye. More than just the organ for sight, the eye in ancient Egyptian culture was believed to be an instrument of protection, healing, and action. Inside the ring is carved an Ankh, also known as the Key of Life - a hidden detail known only to the wearer. The Ankh represents both mortal existence as well as life after death. This key was held by the king and it was known to ensure everlasting life in death.

Wax impressions of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs have been modified and transformed into wearable pieces of art through the lost wax casting process. Each piece is uniquely made by hand.
