A substantial vintage interpretation of one of ancient Egypt’s most enduring symbols.
This vintage 18K yellow gold ankh pendant features a clean, highly polished silhouette with gently flared arms and a large open loop. At nearly 39mm tall, it has enough scale to make a statement while remaining sleek and easy to wear.
The ankh, sometimes called the Key of Life, was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for life and was frequently depicted in the hands of deities. Project Gutenberg
The pendant is marked 750 for 18K gold and bears the Italian *140 AR registration mark for Arezzo. Published jewelry references associate 140 AR with Nuova Jolly S.r.l., an Arezzo goldsmith known for religious and devotional jewelry. 1stDibs
The generous oval jump ring allows it to pair beautifully with a variety of chain styles, from a fine curb chain to something heavier and more substantial.
