Aurns
Aurns are a type of ancient jewelry, typically made from gold or silver, that were worn around the neck or wrist. They are characterized by their distinctive design, which often features intricate engravings or gemstones. Aurns are believed to have originated in the ancient Near East, around 3000 BCE, and were later adopted by various cultures, including the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. They were often used as a form of personal adornment, as well as a symbol of wealth and status. Aurns can be found in various shapes and sizes, ranging from small pendants to large, elaborate necklaces. Some aurns are also known for their symbolic significance, such as the ancient Egyptian ankh, which represents life and eternal existence. Today, aurns are still worn as a form of jewelry, and can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
