Collier Alexandre
Composed of a silver tetradrachm of Alexander the Great wearing the horn of the god Ammon; on the reverse, Athena, goddess of war and wisdom.
Alexander was born in 356 BC, the son of Philip II, king of Macedon, who was assassinated in 336. At the age of 20, Alexander embarked on a series of conquests, advancing through Asia to the Indus, and triumphing in Anatolia, Lebanon, Egypt, and Persia, founding numerous cities along the way.
His epic journey ended abruptly in Babylon, where he succumbed to a sudden fever in 323 BC, leaving no heir.

Scarabée noir
In hardstone, set in 18K gold.
This piece is an amulet — from the Latin amuletum, meaning “a way to protect oneself.” It is an object worn on the body, believed to bring luck or protection.
The most widespread emblem in ancient Egypt was the scarab. Protector of the living, it also symbolized rebirth for the dead.
Egypt, New Kingdom to Roman period.
Collier bronze étrusque

Amulette Coeur
Carnelian heart pendant mounted on an 18K gold bail.
This heart-shaped amulet, known as Ib, was regarded by the Egyptians as the most important organ of the human body — the seat of thought and consciousness, the source of emotions and actions, and the vessel of memory that would bear witness before the judges of the afterlife. It was symbolically weighed to determine whether the deceased was worthy of eternity.

His extraordinary campaign ended abruptly in Babylon, where he succumbed to a violent fever in 323 BC, leaving no heir.

Disque Bi
In jade, mounted on a silver line with a bail.
Bi discs are among the earliest ceremonial objects, used to honor the cult of the Sun and the Sky. Their central opening symbolizes the passage to eternal life.
The bi is associated with the celestial — and at times the terrestrial — suggesting that its circular form held symbolic, even esoteric, meaning.
Jade, the most precious stone in Chinese civilization, was regarded as the stone of immortality and associated with the five Confucian virtues: benevolence, loyalty, wisdom, propriety, and righteousness.
China, 1800–600 BC.
Amulette Phallus
In stone, set with a gold wire mount.
In Greek and Roman antiquity, the representation of the phallus was not associated with eroticism but with fertility and protection.
Such objects were often worn as amulets around children’s necks to shield them from illness. They were also placed at the entrances of homes and public buildings to ward off the evil eye.
Greek, Baskanion, Egypt to Ptolemaic period, 700 BC – 1st century AD.
Amulette Oudjat
Depicting the Eye of Horus.
Horus is one of the oldest Egyptian deities, most often represented as a falcon wearing the double crown of the pharaohs, the pschent. His name means “the Distant One,” referring to the bird’s majestic flight. Also called Udjat, meaning “whole” or “complete,” the Eye of Horus symbolizes restoration and protection.
Horus embodies pharaonic monarchy — the divine protector and dynastic god.

Améthyste Hercule
