Mummy beads adorned the bodies of those who passed on so that they may be protected from evil spirits and have a safe passage into their afterlife, They provided a beautiful passage for all members of society, no matter the status.
Egyptian Mummy beads are old and they are delicate. It is not unusual to lose a few over time to breakage. These beads can be strengthened by a light application of olive oil. This will deepen their color and resilience. As you wear the mummy beads, they also take on the natural oils from your skin, enriching their color and in some ways, having a second life brought on by you, their new owner.
