Maybe you can’t walk like an Egyptian (oh-WHEY-oh), but you can dress like one. Who wouldn’t want to look like Cleopatra, in a long flowy dress, coal-caked eyes and loads of gold jewelry?
Charmed by the beauty of the past, Alyssa Kilpatrick has launched a jewelry line called Isis Designs. In ancient Egypt, scarabs (read: beetles) were worshiped for their powers of magic and luck. Weaved throughout mythology and even buried with the dead, there was nothing more precious, especially when it came to delicate jewelry. Alyssa scored an antique scarab charm at The Guild Shop, and used it as a muse for a solid gold jewelry line that features awe-inspiring earrings, precious necklaces and ethereal headbands.
You know you still love 80s pop icons. So next time you’re having a manic Monday, rock out these bangles.
