Ankh If You Love Isis

Description

Okay, silly joke, but this pendant is definitely anything but. I acquired a few of the loveliest lapis coins and wrapped this one with sterling silver and added a pretty little silver ankh charm. Both sides of the stone are beautiful and it can be worn with either side showing.

The pendant measures a little over 1-1/8 inch (30mm) from the top of the bail to the bottom of the decorative coil and is about 3/4 inch (20mm) wide. This pendant will be accompanied by a satin cord, or you may put it on a cord of your own choosing.

*My kitten, Ellis, decided he wanted to help model this pendant but he's a little wriggly so that pic turned out a tad blurry. Inquisitive cat is not included in this listing. :o)

**The ancient Egyptian staff sign or god staff ankh, which is also believed to be the hieroglyph used to symbolize reproduction and sexual union. According to other sources means life and zest for life. The best summary of its meaning is future life, life after death. The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian tomb paintings and other art, often at the fingertips of a god or goddess in images that represent the deities of the afterlife conferring the gift of life on the dead person's mummy. Additionally, an ankh was often carried by Egyptians as an amulet, either alone, or in connection with two other hieroglyphs that mean "strength" and "health"

***Lapis (lapis lazuli) brings truthfulness, openness, inner power, intuition, creativity, virility and manifestation. It strengthens the mind and body as well as increasing awareness and spiritual connection/evolution. It can help organize daily life as well as organizing and quieting a busy or restless mind. Lapis is also used to contact guardian spirits. Lapis also helps build self-confidence, and is a stone traditionally for royalty. Lapis bring spiritual love and is also known for enhancing love and fidelity within marriage. Lapis is also said to help one overcome shyness. It is associated with the throat and brow chakras and can help one say just the right thing, as if by magic. Lapis is also a stone that protects from both physical and psychic attacks.
