A classic Eye of Horus pendant, set with an Afghani Lapis cabochon. Filled with history and meaning, this ancient symbol represents healing and protection to Egyptians dating back as far as 2600 BCE. Folklore has it that the Sky deity, Horus, lost his eyes in a battle with the god Set, having them returned to him by another god, possibly Thoth, he offered them to his deceased father Osiris to protect him in the afterlife, after this time it has always been equated with protection and healing and restoration.

Prized since antiquity for its intense blue, the finest Lapis comes from Afghanistan and when ground to a fine powder it is the pigment for the artist’s colour ultramarine. Considered more precious than gold, Michelangelo was known to leave paintings unfinished when he couldn’t afford the treasured compound.
Our Jewellery is more than just an accessory, we want you to keep enjoying your Kalapriya pieces for years to come. To maintain your jewellery please keep in mind that Sterling Silver is a soft metal which will naturally oxidise and mellow over time. We recommend keeping your jewellery wrapped in our acid free tissue paper in a dry, cool environment. Always apply perfume and lotions well before putting on your jewellery and removing it before swimming and showering.
A silver cloth is preferred for cleaning as some of the chemical dips can damage the stones and strip the silver of its beautiful lustre.
