Handmade

Zamak, very often used in jewelry, is an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper. It is an acronym for the German names of the metals that compose it: Zink (zinc), Aluminium, MAgnesium (magnesium) Kupfer (copper). Like gold and silver, Zamak can oxidize slightly over time. Simply clean it with products designed for this purpose to restore its luster.

Aten Ra: The Solar Disc in Egyptian Mythology

Aten Ra represents the solar disc in ancient Egypt, a symbol of life, light, and divine energy. Revered as the source of all life on Earth, the sun held a central place in Egyptian spirituality.

The cult of Aten reached its peak during the reign of Akhenaten, who made it the supreme deity. The solar disc was depicted with rays ending in hands, symbolizing the blessings it bestowed upon humanity.

Even today, Aten Ra retains strong spiritual significance, representing enlightenment, rebirth, and vital energy in many contemporary traditions.
