Symbol & Form

The ankh—often called the Egyptian cross or key of life—stands as one of history's most enduring symbols. Its distinctive loop-topped form has appeared in art, architecture, and adornment for millennia, transcending its ancient origins to become a universal emblem recognized across cultures. This interpretation honors that legacy through precise metalwork and restrained design, allowing the form itself to speak.

Why You'll Love It

Sterling silver develops character over time, darkening naturally with exposure to air and skin chemistry. This patina can be maintained for depth or polished away for brightness—the choice is yours. The diamond setting is designed for daily wear, with prongs that protect the stone while allowing light to enter from all angles. At 1.38 grams, the piece feels substantial enough to notice without overwhelming, and the adjustable chain accommodates different necklines and layering preferences.

Perfect For

Those drawn to symbols with historical depth. Daily wear that carries meaning without announcement. Layering with other pieces or wearing alone. Anyone seeking jewelry that evolves alongside them rather than remaining static. A thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates craftsmanship and enduring design.
