Stainless Steel Coptic Ankh Necklace, 24″ Link Chain
In the ancient world, symbols carried enormous weight and power. This ankh necklace might be claimed by both the Egyptians of old and the Coptic Church. The former named it simply the ankh and revered it as the symbol of life itself. The Church calls it the Coptic Cross or the Coptic Ankh.
This necklace represents the union of two ancient ways of life and thought, each thousands of years old. It embraces that duality but also uses simplicity in representation to great effect. The smooth, stainless steel surface is pure minimalism while the play of light and reflections add a depth of character.

A close look at the surface of this exquisitely intricate ankh pendant will enrapture any eye. It is hard to believe so much beauty could be held in so small an object.
At the very center lies a stylized diamond that will catch the light to shine like a beacon. Around it, a myriad of symbols and scenes from the mythology of ancient Egypt are spread over the entire front surface. A pharaoh in full regalia looks out at the world from the base of the staff. On either side of the loop is a swallow – in pairs, they represented greatness to the ancient Egyptians.

Nothing can surpass a handmade jewelry piece for its sheer uniqueness and attention to detail. This sterling silver ankh pendant is a testament to the skill and ability of the master craftsman who first shaped it and then polished it to the high sheen it displays.

Eye Of Horus and Ankh Necklace
Two of the most potent symbols in Egyptian lore come together in a single necklace with this eye-catching design.
The ankh was their symbol of life and there are many theories about how the elements of the design represented that belief. One is that the staff represented the male and the loop, the female, a styling common to cultures across the world.
They Eye of Horus was the most powerful symbol of protection for the Egyptians, making an appearance whenever mortals looked to the heavens for a divine shield. This intriguing ankh necklace is beautifully finished in gun metal.
Silver Pewter Charm, The Key of the Nile Egyptian Ankh Necklace
This is an ankh necklace with a twist…or four.
Ankhs are traditionally designed with a curved loop at the head but here it incorporates a slightly more angular outline. It is crafted here from multiple lines instead of just the single one we see so often.
At the point where the base of the loop meets the staff, you will see a binding in the shape of the letter ‘X’, a feature almost never seen on the ankh.
The final twist is that each of the three segments of the staff is shaped like a ‘djed’, the mythological symbol for the backbone of the god, Osiris, and a representation of stability.
Stainless Steel Ankh Pendant with 30 Inch Chain
If you like nice, clean lines, this is the Ankh pendant for you. Crafted from stainless steel, the entire design has but a single seam – the loop is not quite complete and one ends hangs mysteriously over the horizontal staff.
The loop on the standard ankh touches and encloses the shape.
Why was it left like that? Be prepared for a thousand people to pose you that question. Perhaps you might even encounter someone who notices the design and gives you an answer instead…
Smooth and easy to clean, this pendant also comes with a 30-inch chain.
Gold Plated Egyptian Ankh Cross Necklace

Even the bail that sits directly atop the loop features the same unbroken line of design, resulting in a captivatingly simple necklace sure to catch the eye. This ankh necklace comes with a ‘bail within a bail’ design for even more versatility.
The Key of The Nile and Eye of Horus Handmade Brass Egyptian Ankh Necklace
The ancient Egyptians believed strongly in the power of symbols. This ankh necklace features some of the most powerful ones that they used brought together in one place, and their power magnified by being inscribed on the ankh itself.
The ankh was arguably the most revered symbol of Egyptian civilization because it represented Life. The inscription that takes center stage is the Eye of Horus, emblazoned at the junction of the loop above and the staff below. The Eye was a revered protection charm.
Other inscriptions line the circumference of the loop and continue down the length of the staff.

The piece comes with a Franco chain that pairs perfectly with the pendant.
925 Sterling Silver Plain Ankh Cross Pendant
The ankh cross is a union of two very different ways of life and thought. Also known as the Coptic ankh or Coptic cross, it is a widely used Christian symbol in the Middle East and Africa. However, the ankh symbol predates Christianity by thousands of years – it was the ancient Egyptian symbol of Life.
You will notice a subtle (but very distinct once you see it) difference between the traditional ankh and this one. The loop of the Ankh cross does not sit directly on the horizontal staff below but is separated by a small neck.
A unique piece sure to draw attention and questions.

A jet black onyx lies at the heart of this pewter ankh pendant, at the crossroads where the loop and the staff meet. Every bit of the surface beyond the stone is inscribed with a mysterious looping pattern perhaps more commonly associated with the Celts.
Each piece is hand cast and hand finished for an antique brushed satin look. There is a wonderful contrast between the metal and the leather necklace with which this pendant comes.
Gold-tone Ankh Egyptian Cross of Life Pendant
The definition of exquisite reaches new heights with this absolutely gorgeous rendering of ancient Egyptian symbols on the ankh, their representation of the mythological Key of Life.
Two swallows looking outwards are depicted on the loop, the interpretation of which means greatness. On the outstretched arms, a sphinx takes pride of place on one side while a pyramid is depicted on the other. A pharaoh in full ceremonial headgear appears at the base.
At the very center is an imitation diamond. A rope chain necklace completes the look of grand opulence.
Ancient Symbol of Life, Egyptian Cross Ankh Necklace
Over 5,000 years old, the ankh symbol has over time been used by several civilizations. It originated as the Key to Life in ancient Egypt where it was commonly seen on and around the pharaoh and depictions of their gods.
In this ankh necklace, the ankh is shaped in a less familiar design than we commonly see. The arms are especially triangular, perhaps hinting at a pyramid seen from its side.
Within each triangle is a pattern of nocks chiseled into the resin and the loop sits snugly atop their nexus.
Stainless Steel Coptic Ankh Cross Necklace
Deep, dark, quiet black metal resonates with power. This black stainless steel ankh necklace epitomizes that raw energy.
Known as the Coptic ankh cross in the Middle East and Africa today, the symbol can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians where it held fascination and commanded reverence as the symbol of the Power of Life.
This minimalist rendering is subtle and featureless but for the single ridge that runs the length of each staff.
Silver Hieroglyphic Ankh of Life Necklace
This is a truly unique ankh necklace; while it retains the classic ankh shape of an ovoid above a cross, the oval is not empty but filled with hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt.
The surface of the loop and the three segments of the cross are also filled with these symbols. Among them, you will find the ankh itself as well as swallows which alluded to greatness for the Egyptians. Taking center stage in the middle of the loop is a scarab, a motif that is repeated on the vertical part of the cross.
Silver Scarab and Ankh Necklace
This ankh necklace originates from Egypt, the birthplace of the ankh itself. It is remarkable for two things in particular – the large ‘head’, which is the loop above the cross, and the scarab that dominates the space within the loop.
Scarabs were the symbol of rejuvenation, rebirth and reincarnation. The ancient Egyptians populace commonly wore scarab symbols in light of that association.
This handmade piece is a wonderful representation of those beliefs.
925 Sterling Silver Hieroglyph Ankh Cross Charm
There might be many ankh pendant and charm designs but you would be hard pressed to find any like this one.
The ankh still takes pride of pace in the center but there are amazing things happening all around it. Firstly, a partial halo seems to sit behind the ankh. A knotted pattern is carved into the bottom half of the vertical section of the cross. Its ends branch out on either side like flames while another flame sits atop the loop of the ankh.
Fascinating!
