The Ankh
The Ankh has a personal connection to me, as I wear a toe ring and a finger ring everyday of the symbol. The rings are both sterling silver they are both "treasures of mine". The Ankh resembles sexuality and life according to many. In Ancient Egypt many of the Gods and Goddesses carry the ankh. And some people today, believes that the Ankh represents the female reproductive organ. And it is by far, the most popularized symbol in all of Ancient Egyptian culture. However, even some Historians believe that the ankh is a symbol of magical protection. There is many common theories to what EXACTLY it is a symbol of. Perhaps none of us will ever know.
