Egyptian Nekhbet Pendant
Nekhbet: Vulture Goddess Deity of Upper Egypt. Laser cut from 1/8″ thick plywood, etched recesses have been rubbed with red/blue paint. Top edges wiped clean with damp paper towel for an inlay look.

I have been painstakingly recreating ancient Egyptian jewelry designs by hand into scalable vector graphics for laser cutting and jewelry making. Each design has two small holes found on each side of the top for connecting jump rings, a necklace, or whatever.

Horus: Egyptian God of The Sky. Laser etched 1/8″ thick plywood.

I started out with Horus as a falcon with spread wings motif. Then, if that was not enough, I have a wonderful Nekhbet, the vulture of upper Egypt that I have recreated in SVG digital format. Each of these deities are holding Shen Symbols giving the wearer eternal protection, which could come in handy, depending on who you are.

Egyptian Horus SVG for Glowforge

These timeless artifacts are laser etched and intended to be cut from 1/8 inch thick plywood or hardwood, but no one is gonna stop you if you make them from 1/4 inch thick wood for that heavy solid feel. Use jump rings, cord, beads and other jewelry supply to make them into fine necklaces. Wear them as is, or rub turquoise or red acrylic paint into the laser etched recesses, then wipe the edges clean with a damp paper towel for a colorful inlay look. It’s up to you. This would be a wonderful handmade gift for the Pharaoh or Goddess on your list. You know who you are.
