White Gold Ankh Pendant Necklace

White gold Ankh necklace in 18-karat gold.

This white gold Ankh pendant represents the famous Egyptian Ankh cross of life found engraved on the tombs of the pharaohs. This design is similar to our silver ankh necklace.

It is initially a hieroglyph whose meaning is: ânkh or Crux Ansata meaning: "life". To learn more about this Egyptian symbol now known worldwide, I invite you to read this article on the subject.

This white gold Ankh pendant is a reproduction of an ancient Ankh symbol found by archeologists in Egypt, engraved in stone on a wall of a tomb. You can see in the picture the original symbol which was used as our model. This ankh design is the first known representation of Ankhs that appeared during the first dynasty, some 3000 years BC. It represents a knot made of a flexible material such as cloth or reeds.

Our Ankh cross pendant design is made of solid white 18k gold, with curved shapes on the top and flat on the back. You will see that it reproduces in detail the ancient cross of life seen on the wall of the tomb. The curved surfaces of the ankh cross pendant reflect the light giving it a very shiny appearance.

You chain necklace:

This necklace is available with a gold chain or without a gold chain as a simple pendant if you prefer. In case you choose the chain, you have two options depending on your preference:

• 1.2 mm gold curb chain 45 centimeters long (18 inches for 2,4 grams of gold), this chain is perfect for our small ankh pendant, and if you are a woman
• 2 mm gold rolo chain 45 centimeters long (18 inches for 3,9 grams of gold), this chain is perfect for our large ankh pendant, or if you are a man

The white gold ankh pendant is available in 5 different sizes:

• 25 mm: The ankh cross is 25 millimeters high without the bail, and 31 millimeters with the bail with a gold weight of 2,5 grams for the pendant alone
• 30 mm: The ankh cross is 30 millimeters high without the bail, and 36 millimeters with the bail with a gold weight of 3,8 grams for the pendant alone

The Ankh symbol:

Also known as the key of life or key of the Nile, it is a representation of Eternal life in ancient Egypt. Its origin is still unclear and it is one of the most ancient symbols of humanity, more than 5000 years old, that is still widely known and used as a symbol, jewelry, or amulet nowadays.

Who is this pendant for?

This real Ankh necklace has a strong spiritual meaning about healing and the afterlife in Egyptian culture. This jewel will delight an Egyptian art and culture lover looking for a jewel with historical significance to wear. In the case of this pendant, the symbol is even stronger as the design is a reproduction of an ancient Ankh symbol carved on the wall of a pharaoh's tomb.

How to choose your pendant

Conventional pendant size is set between one and two inches. As a tip, your pendant should not weigh more than 4/5 times the weight of your chain.
