Egyptian Ankh Statement Necklace
with Eye of Horus Life Symbol Amulet



This ankh necklace with Eye of Horus amulet would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves boho or tribal styling as well as meaningful jewelry with historical links. The ankh is an ancient symbol that stands for eternal life. Here it is used as a creative base for several Egyptian hieroglyphics, which are shown in relief on the front of the pendant and as etchings on the back. I've included close-ups of both sides among my shop listing's photographs. Central among those hieroglyphics is the Eye of Horus, which is featured on the amulet's front and shown in smaller form on the back. It symbolizes good health, protection, and royal power and represents the goddess Wadjet.

Meaningful, with ancient symbols, an inspirational depth, and tribal and boho elements, this ankh beaded necklace was handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It is a piece that men would enjoy wearing as well as women, and that brings a positive message to all. It will arrive in an eco-friendly kraft-style box, wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

 
  
About the Ankh Symbol
The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol for eternal life, and it is a common element in the art of Egypt during the time of the pharaohs. It is also found on amulets from that historical period. This symbol appears in some ancient Mediterranean cultures as well. For example, in ancient Cyprus, ankhs appeared on coins and were used as a symbol for copper. The ankh enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and is still popular today. It is a highly meaningful and positive element as well as an attractive shape in itself.


Thank you, everybody! Treats to the CPromo furpals from Gonze! :)
