This silver armlet is decorated with something that resembles the ancient Egyptian sacred written symbols hieroglyphics and different stones such as, an aventurine quartz, a carnelian, a tiger eye stone, a malachite and a turquoise.
The design of the armlet is powerful and radiates timelessness and elegance. You do not have to be an Egyptian bride to wear it, but if you do wear it with a summer dress or any other sleeveless attire you will probably feel like one.
