The round beads in this necklace are ancient beads from Afghanistan and are over two thousand years old. The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul resided in the heart. Although we today believe that the consciousness resides in the brain, we still use phrases like “heartfelt emotion” that reveal the ancient belief that the feeling and perceiving self resides in the heart. We still associate the heart with love in spite of the fact that we know that its function is to pump the blood throughout the body. The function of a heart amulet is essentially to protect the soul.
