King Tutankhamen needs no introduction. Why not own one of his treasures in a pendant form with blue enamel engraving and the actual intricate details?
One of the items that were buried with him was a dagger.
Nineteen iron objects were discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun, including a set of blades which appear very similar to those used in the Egyptian opening of the mouth ceremony (a ritual performed for the benefit of the deceased to enable an afterlife).
These blades are also intricately linked to iron and stars, being described in temple inventories as composed of iron and were themselves frequently referred to as the stars.
