A fine Edwardian Egyptian Revival pendant in the form of an ankh, set with robin's egg blue turquoise cabochons and lustrous seed pearls in 9ct yellow gold. Made in Britain around 1910, this piece reflects the widespread fascination with ancient Egypt that followed the period's major archaeological discoveries.The pendant is modelled in the classic ankh form; the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol representing life. Known as the "key of life," the ankh was one of the most potent and enduring symbols in Egyptian cosmology. It was commonly depicted in the hands of gods, pharaohs, and funerary art, symbolising eternal life, divine protection, and the union of masculine and feminine energies.Set along the crossbeam and vertical stem are graduated seed pearls, each carefully bezel-set to maximise their creamy lustre. The upper loop is inlaid with a graceful arc of graduated turquoise cabochons, offering a vibrant contrast and reinforcing the Near Eastern aesthetic.This pendant weighs 3.22g and measures 3.5cm x 1.7cm. It bears a stamped ‘9ct’ mark and tests as 9K gold. A fine example of its type, perfect for anyone interested in antique symbolism, jewellery history, or the early 20th century's romantic Egyptomania.Date: c.1910Origin: United KingdomMaterial: 9ct yellow gold, turquoise cabochons, seed pearlsSize: 3.5 x 1.7 cmWeight: 3.22gMarks: Stamped ‘9ct’, tests as 9K goldCondition: Excellent antique condition.
