## What a Cartouche Is

A cartouche is an oval of rope that circles a royal name. Egyptians used it to mark kings.

This cartouche reads Ra messu meri Amen, meaning Ramses, beloved of the god Amun. A pharaoh name necklace carries that signature.

## Ramses II, King of the 19th Dynasty

Ramses II ruled from about 1279 to 1213 BC. His reign marks a high point of the New Kingdom.

He built Abu Simbel and placed his name on temples across Egypt.

## Wearing and Display

Wear the Egyptian cartouche necklace over plain tops so the colors show. Wipe with a soft cloth.

A teardrop bead cartouche necklace suits many outfits. See more in our [Egyptian Museum Replicas](https://www.museumize.com/collections/culture-egyptian-museum-replicas) and [Museum Jewelry Necklaces](https://www.museumize.com/collections/museum-jewelry-necklaces).

## About Egyptian Names

Egyptians believed a name could live forever if it was written well. This Egyptian cartouche necklace plays on that idea. The Ramses cartouche necklace keeps a king's name close.
