Ancient Egyptian Amulets were worn because it was believed that the wearer was endowed, by magical means, with certain powers or capabilities. At the very least it was thought to afford some kind of protection. Three of the four Egyptian words translated as "amulet" comes primarily from words meaning "to guard" or "protect". The fourth
has the same sound as the word meaning "well being".
Amulet : an object worn or used to provide magical protectionagainst danger and ill fortune.
I don't know about magical powers, I love wearing my beaded Amulet Bag Necklaces for all the compliments I receive!
Each Amulet Bag Necklace is made bead by bead with the help of reading glasses!
