Silver Ankh cross pendant is sterling silver 92.5. The Ankh pendant is an ancient Egyptian symbol, also known as the a symbol of life or the key of life. It also represents the concept of eternal life. The horizontal line represents the horizon, the circle represent the sun and the vertical line represent the river Nile in Egypt.  Without the river Nile flooding the plains of Egypt, this country was dry and barren. With each yearly flooding the Nile made the soils rich in nutrients and crops would then grow well. So this ankh pendant is a perfect for a gift representing new life, fertility and  abundance.
What is sterling silver?
The silver ankh cross pendant is made from sterling silver and features a 92.5 stamp. This means it is 92.5% fine silver with no more than 7.5% of copper or other metals. This formula is internationally accepted and it gives sterling silver the hardness and the tolerance to work with. Anything higher than 92.5 would be too soft and tarnish too quickly. When you buy sterling silver from us, we can guarantee it is just that!
Sterling Silver care Tips
To keep your sterling silver looking its best, use a silver polishing cloth or silvo on an old rag and give it a gentle rub. This will give your jewellery back its brilliant shine! Silver will tarnish from being exposed to air but will take a good six weeks to discolour. Items that are worn constantly will take a lot longer! To preserve the shine on your silver avoid contact with ammonia, alcohol, fingernail polish remover or turpentine. ALWAYS remove sterling silver jewellery while in natural hot pools because of the high sulphur content in the water. Do not use silver dip. Dip cleaners work for the first few times but it puts a layer on the silver and can discolour stones and shell. Toothpaste is also not a good idea as it is too abrasive.
