The ankh is the ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life. One belief is that the loop at the top symbolizes the rising sun, while the horizontal bar represents feminine energy, and the vertical bar indicates masculine energy. Together they combine to form a symbol of fertility and power.
This potent talisman is seen universally as a symbol of life everlasting, and is often worn as a symbol of protection.
The ankh is also the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for "breath of life." The Egyptians believed that the ankh symbolized both mortal existence and the afterlife. During certain rituals the shape of the ankh may be traced in the air to delineate sacred space, or used as a charm against evil.
This graceful and truly stylish talisman earring combines beauty with the power of the ankh.
