This Ankh ring is totally inspired by the ancient Egyptian symbol rocked by pharaohs themselves! Available in .925 sterling silver, antique bronze or stainless steel, this design actually came from one of my projects back in the '90s when I was diving into jewellery-making studies—so it’s got some serious history! Handmade with a cool wrap-around style, this ring isn’t just a piece of jewellery—it’s a bold symbol of eternal life and timeless elegance! The Egyptian gods were often seen holding the ankh, representing the link between earthly existence and the afterlife. So if you're looking for something meaningful with a divine twist, this adjustable Ankh ring is exactly what you need! Details: Materials: available in either .925 sterling silver, a mix of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper, or antique bronze, a mix of 90% copper and 10% tin. Both are free of nickel, zinc or cadmium, which are common metal allergens, which can cause rashes and sores. For more info on bronze, read my blog post or consult my FAQ. Stainless steel is an affordable material to create hypoallergenic jewellery for those sensitive to costume jewellery. Stainless steel is a tougher material than gold and silver and is ideal for everyday wear for those that are hard on your jewellery. The stainless steel I use is 316L grade to make sure you get no allergic reactions as 316L grade stainless steel is nickel free, lead free and cadmium free. Moreover, stainless steel is water resistant and doesn't tarnish and doesn't required a lot of care. It does take more work to finish pieces cast in stainless steel and can take longer to get cast, so the processing time is 2-3 weeks depending on the caster. Ring Dimensions: 1.2cm wide, 1.5mm high and has a tapered band width. Shipping info: Shipping is with tracking and insurance. For international buyers, please be aware of taxes and duties are payable to your country and must be paid by the buyer and is not collected by me. For any questions about my materials, processing time, and more, check out my FAQ for more info! Let’s talk about the ankh! This ancient Egyptian symbol, also called the "crux ansata" (which is just a fancy Latin way of saying "cross with a handle"), literally means "life" and was EVERYWHERE in ancient Egypt. The gods are always shown carrying it, usually by the loop or with one in each hand, arms crossed. It’s so iconic that it even showed up in digs as far as Mesopotamia and Persia, and—get this—on the seal of the biblical King Hezekiah! Plus, it made a huge comeback during the 1960s in the New Age scene. Now, this wrap-around Ankh ring is the ultimate piece for anyone who’s into ancient history, spirituality, or just loves a good statement ring! Wear it every day as a reminder of Egypt's epic legacy, or gift it to someone who could use a little life and protection vibes. The timeless charm of the Ankh never goes out of style!
