Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth, remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers.

Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!). Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.

Isis became the model on which future generations of female dieties in other cultures were to be based. As the personification of the “complete female,” Isis was called “The One Who Is All,” Isis Panthea (“Isis the All Goddess”), and the “Lady of Ten Thousand Names.”

The ancient Egyptian goddess Isis has many gifts to share with modern women. Isis embodies the strengths of the feminine, the capacity to feel deeply about relationships, the act of creation, and the source of sustenance and protection.

Similarly, the isis line of jewellery was created to accentuate the strengths of the modern woman. Strong and powerful, yet still very feminine at her core.
