The ankh is perhaps the most widely known Egyptian symbol, representing life, the universe, and immortality. It is symbolic of regeneration. Furthermore, it is theorized that the staff portion is representative of the male principle while the loop is representative of the female principle, thus indicating a union of the two. More particularly, it has been said to be representative of the union between Isis and Osiris, and, as their union would initiate the flooding of the Nile, was called the "Key of the Nile." Yet another theory suggests that the loop is representative of the sun rising, while the crossbar represents the horizon and the vertical segment the path of the sun. It is believed to have been associated with a glyph for magical protection, and can thus be interpreted as a good luck talisman. The ankh today has been associated with modern pagan and Wiccan groups.

This particular ankh is sterling sliver and is about two inches in length. Though simplistic, it is a great accessory to accompany any wardrobe. It isn't too tacky, too ornate, or too expensive, and silver does tend to go with everything. Make sure you purchase a chain for this as well.

This Ankh is definitely of poorer quality than expected. The anhk itself is lightweight, almost like it is plastic coated with silver or silver paint. It is molded, with a mold line around the middle. The "925" mark is on the clasp/bail and there is nothing on the anhk itself to indicate that anything other than the clasp/bail is silver.... Not very impressed.

I bought this product approximately two months ago. It's been a great necklace, I have received many compliments. A decent piece of jewelry. A silver cleaner fixed the nasty discoloration I had all over it. Good as new.

I'd say 5 stars, but since it won't let me edit the stars, I can only tell you this should be a 5 star review.

This is a decent and good looking piece of jewelry.

This pendent shows whatever meaning an Ankh has to you to the world. I often get compliments and questions about it since I wear it everywhere. While the pendent isn't solid, the silver is thick enough to have nice weight to it. The entire piece is real sterling silver (I looped with a 10x jeweler's loop) and won't dent or bend. (My little cousin tried to chew on it once.) So long as you want a bold piece that can be easily seen, this is a good choice!

Its about the length of my thumb looks exactly like the picture. Ive had it for about 2 weeks and have gotten about 5 compliments on it already. Nice peice I feel good wearing it.

Looks cool but its hallow and wears bad. Im afraid it will break easily. Wish it was a solid piece for the price.

It is difficult to find well crafted Ankh pendants in South East Asia primarily not many Asian Jewelry stores stock these. When I received the Ankh, two years ago I was speechless. It's terribly BEAUTIFUL! I have received many compliments, and the odd thing is people have asked me to purchase this for them instead of getting it through Amazon themselves.

I wear the Ankh everyday - I've never taken it off me for the past 24 months it has been around my neck, and surprisingly, for Silver, Sterling Silver has ensured that it is quality silver they're using - The Ankh has never tarnished.

I'm pleased, and would recommend it to any Ankh wearer, and future wearers.

this ankh pendant is soooo pretty! the only this is that it is hallow, i found out the hard way and put a dent in it :/ but that should teach me not to bit things! but other then that its really pretty! and i will buy more things from this user.
