Kanye West Jewellery Collection

Well this is out of the blue, I didn’t see a Kanye West venture into the world of Jewellery happening anytime soon but it has. Anything Ye touches turns to gold, he has that Midas touch. The jewellery is obviously inspired by Egypt (ya’ll should have guessed that!),  the line features a Horus pendant and a two finger ring. I’m definitely feeling the Twin Pyramid finger ring, I’ve become a fan of bold shapes as of late. I just love how shapes are bold and effective in all forms of design. More photos after the cut.

For those that don’t know who or what Horus is. He is one of the oldest and most significant deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. If you read up on his stories, you’ll realise most modern religions have deities that have very similar stories to his.

The Eye of Horus personified in the goddess Wadjet also written as Wedjat, Uadjet, Wedjoyet, Edjo or Ut  and as The Eye of Ra or “Udjat”[6]  is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power. It’s quite an iconic symbol, google it!
