The ancient Egyptian hieroglyph known as Ankh symbolizes 'Life' and 'Eternal Life'.
It was one of the most popular and widespread symbols in ancient Egypt and is found repeatedly in their wall art, carvings, pottery and other artifacts.
It was closely associated with their gods, who were often depicted carrying the Ankh by its handle. Ankh is also known by the term 'crux ansata', which is Latin for 'cross with a handle'.
This is a very decorative Ankh; Additional hieroglyphics fill the distinctive cross shape mimicking the carved walls and possessions of a pharaoh's tomb.
The silver hieroglyphics are raised against a blackened background giving it a very vivid, dramatic character. The Eye of Horus is set at the center and two Egyptian vultures sit facing each other from either end of the crosspiece.
We wanted to give our customers a way of personalizing their pendants, but many of the pieces in our store are textured on the backside, have an uneven surface, or a design on all sides, making it impossible to engrave them.
Our solution to this problem was to offer engravable charms that you can add onto any necklace. They are small, about 1/2" wide (12 mm) and come with free engraving on the front side (backside engraving is available for an additional charge).
We currently only have these in two shapes (a heart or circle), but will be adding more as time goes on. The charms are also engraved in-house and custom fit with findings to match your pendant.
You can choose engravable charm options right on the product page of any pendant. Below are a few photographs of charms we've made for customers in the past, along with their pendants.
