and spiritual wealth but was never used for money.
Long before the arrival of the Europeans, Indigenous
cultures in South and Central America had mastered
mining, hammering, and casting gold to produce
jewelry,ornaments, masks, and other items. In Costa
Rica, frogs were a popular symbolic motif, commonly
associated with the creation of the sea.

Egyptian Snake Ring
463R
EGYPTIAN
In ancient Egypt, as in many cultures, snakes were
both feared and worshipped. As one of the demons
of the underworld, the destructive Apophis was feared
while the serpent Meretseger was worshipped as the
protector of the Valley of the Kings. A cobra, uraeus,
was attached to the headdress of King Tutankhamun
and other rulers as their royal insignia and protection.
Some believe that Cleopatra was killed by an asp that
she had smuggled into her room.
Ajustable ring.

Lotus Earrings
152E
Developed for the Réunion des Musées Nationaux
The cloisonné technique used here was highly
appreciated by the Ancient Egyptians. Symbolism always
played a very important role in Egyptian art. The lotus
flower, which frames the setting on each side, is directly
linked to the idea of rebirth. It is from this flower that
the sun rises every morning. In the Book of the Dead of
Ancient Egypt, a chapter is devoted to the rebirth of the
deceased under this aspect. Furthermore, the color red
evokes the notion of energy and dynamism, the dark
blue of lapis lazuli symbolizes the deep blue of the sky
at night, while the light blue of the turquoise stone is a
symbol of joy.
