(including chain)   Sterling silver box chain (included)   Horus was the falcon-headed solar and sky god from ancient Egypt. He is associated with vitality, health and regeneration. The Eye of Horus symbolises protection and the bringing of wisdom. The eye also symbolises our ability to see with clarity and truthfulness.   The significance, or symbolic function, of the eye of Horus in the Egyptian myths, lies in a philosophy of balance. Horus's right eye is thought to represent the Sun. Meanwhile the left eye, which was ripped out and restored, is thought to represent the moon. In particular it reflects the cycles of the Moon as it is metaphorically torn from the sky every month. Together the masculine Sun and the feminine Moon provide a theory of universal balance similar to the concept of yin and yang in Chinese philosophy.    The Eye of Horus is considered a powerful symbol that can be offered as a gift in the form of jewellery, for example, that shows your love for another person. In particular it has connotations of selflessness and dedication as well as the more general functions of good luck and warding off evil forces and improve health.
