In the modern times there are very less people who have a strong belief in fantasies and myths. Our new found culture of science has made people lose belief in anything that can not be explained. But there are people still who hold those beliefs. Thousands of years ago in the Egyptian dynasties the kings and the queens had special handcrafted jewellery engraved and painted with mythical and fantasy symbols. Those were known to hold special powers. One of the most common symbols was the scarab beetle, which was worn to give the wearer the power of resurrection. The deceased were buried adorned with fantasy, mythical handcrafted jewellery made of special colored stones, which held certain meaning from their ‘Book of the Dead’. Like the red color was known to ward of evil, similarly, there were other mythical handcrafted jewellery especially made for the deceased to bless their
soul.

Thousands of years later, those cultures still exist in the fantasy, mythical handcrafted jewellery presented today. There is the famous symbol of the ‘Evil Eye’ that is known to protect the wearer from evil, many people wear it because they believe in it, others gift these sort of fantasy handcrafted jewellery to their loved ones to make a statement of their expressions and feeling for them.

This is of fantasy, mythical handcrafted jewellery is loved by the younger generation, not because of the meaning it holds, but because it appears funky to them and funky is the new fashion. Children also happen to love the colorful symbolic designs of fantasy handcrafted jewellery. But those who are interested in its actual meaning can find the relations to the symbols and colors of fantasy and mythical jewellery in the ancient books at the local library or over the internet, which is the biggest information world.
