Sterling Silver Ankh Earrings are from our Egyptian jewelry line featuring ankhs. The ankh was an Egyptian symbol of life after death or Eternal Life ("Nem Ankh"). The Sterling Silver Ankh Earrings measure approximately 1.17" long, 0.41" wide, 0.05" thick, and hang just over 1 ¼" long. Each earring weighs approximately 0.02oz. Includes sterling silver ear wires. Sterling Silver Ankh Earrings come in a burgundy drawstring pouch. Ankh is perhaps one of the most widely recognized symbols other than the cross; sacred to the ancient Egyptians, and often used as an amulet. It seems to have the shape of a key, which in Egyptian hieroglyphics, this symbol stands for life or living, and forms part of the Egyptian words such as 'health' and 'happiness'. Linked with Egyptian gods and goddesses, such as Isis (eternal mother and High Priestess) and Osiris, most gods would appear to have possessed the ankh, to symbolize life and immortality, and it is thus often referred to as the Key of Life, or even the cross of life, because of its creative power. The loop of the ankh is considered to be the feminine, while the T shape is considered to be the masculine. Together, these symbols reflect a continued existence. |
