Feather of Ma-at Sterling Silver Ring Made to Order

I am *so* excited to share this with you! I’ve taken one of my all-time favorite pendants—the Feather of Ma'at—and turned it into a stunning handmade .925 sterling silver ring!  For this one, I created the ring shank out of wax wire, with a unique Y shape on each side, framing the pendant beautifully. And don’t worry, the original hieroglyph for Ma'at is still perfectly visible on the back of the feather!

Wearing the Feather of Ma'at ring is like carrying a piece of ancient wisdom with you—truth, balance, and harmony, all wrapped up in a gorgeous piece of jewellery. Whether you’re into ancient Egyptian vibes or just want a deeper connection to the universe, this ring is like a little wearable talisman, adding both meaning and style to your everyday look!

Oh my gosh, let me tell you about *Maat*—she’s like the ultimate cosmic balance queen in ancient Egypt! So, Maat (or Ma'at, depending on how fancy you wanna get) isn’t just a concept; she's the goddess who embodies truth, harmony, justice, and order. Like, we're talking the one who literally keeps the stars aligned, seasons rolling, and everything in balance. From the moment the universe popped into existence, Maat was there, making sure chaos didn’t take over. Her opposite? That’s Isfet, which is basically all the bad stuff—chaos, evil, you name it.

Now, the coolest part? Maat wasn’t just for the gods. Every single Egyptian citizen was expected to live by her principles, like being truthful, acting with honor, and keeping everything from their families to their environment in harmony. And they took it *seriously*. Fast forward to the afterlife—this is where Maat really comes into play. In the underworld (the Duat), when you die, your heart gets weighed against her iconic "Feather of Ma'at" in the Hall of Two Truths. Egyptians believed the heart, called "ib," was the core of the soul, so it stayed in the mummy while other organs were taken out. If your heart was as light (or lighter) than the feather? Boom, you’re off to Aaru, their version of paradise. But if it wasn’t, well… Ammit (part lion, crocodile, and hippo) gobbled it up, and your soul was stuck in the Duat forever. Yikes!

So, when you gift someone a Feather of Ma'at ring? You’re not just handing them a piece of jewellery—you're giving them this symbol packed with ancient meaning. Whether it’s for someone who loves mythology or just needs some good vibes of balance and harmony in their life, it’s such a thoughtful gift. It’s like saying, "Here’s to living your truth and keeping things cosmic and balanced!" What could be more perfect than that?
