Lapis Lazuli Eye of Horus Necklace

Solid Sterling Silver Eye of Horus Necklace with Lapis Lazuli gemstone.

As you may know, Horus is one of the most important gods in the Egyptian pantheon and plays a key role in the legends of Egyptian mythology.

The Eye of Horus, in fact, is in all of us. It is represented as a figure with six parts corresponding to our six senses – touch, taste, hearing, thought, sight, and smell.

The Eye of Horus is a symbol in ancient Egyptian religion that represents well-being, healing, and protection. It derives from the mythical conflict between the god Horus and his rival Set, in which Set tore out or destroyed one or both of Horus's eyes and the eye was subsequently healed or returned to Horus with the assistance of another deity.

The Eye of Horus symbol, a stylized eye with distinctive markings, is believed to have protective magical power and appears frequently in ancient Egyptian art. It was one of the most common motifs for amulets, remaining in use from the Old Kingdom to the present day.

Wearing it as a talisman, the Egyptians believed that it had therapeutic properties and was capable of protecting the wearer. People used it as a good-luck charm. It was like a guardian of its owner's spiritual and physical health. Many Egyptian fishing boats paint the eye on their hulls to benefit from the protection of this divine symbol.
