lost Ankh!

Ok so this is from a few years ago but it has always been on my mind and i have always wondered what happened to them.

I had a GORGEOUS ANKH neckalce, was kind of like a surfy looking thick metal thing, it was stunning, i loved it to pieces, but one day it vanished, not the chain just the ANKH pendant which i thought was very odd.
When i first bought it was at a crystal shop, for some reason it stood out above all the other jewellery and i HAD to have it.

After that got lost i found a gorgeous little pair of ankh earrings, they were so cute and again i HAD to have them, they cost me a small fortune but i got another necklace along with it.
Again the pendant went missing off the necklace and 1 of the earrings went missing.

Does anyone know if this means anything or am i just reading too much into it.
I have NEVER had an issue with loosing other jewellery and nothing constant like this.

That happens to me too ... I had a thing with moonstones about (OMG!) 16 years ago now - I would be able to keep one for a couple of months then it would either crack or go missing. I figured that whatever drew me to them had helped and was no longer needed...

Yes your right..

:

The Ankh, also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata, was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life", a triliteral sign for the consonants ˁ-n-ḫ. Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest.

I was quite into egyptian things when i was younger, also gothic architecture and jewellery... ahhh the phases we go through.

hmm I would tend to agree with Kaz... Probably the purpose it served has been served.

But perhaps it will turn up one day ;) Never know!

The ankh is also used as a fertility symbol... I wonder if that might be significant in terms of it serving it's purpose....

Thanks everyone, back then i was going trhough some issues with my ex, maybe it was there to show me that life will go on without him??? I am not sure.

It was a few years ago so not sure on the fertility angle, it was WAYYYYY before the girls were even part of my imagination.. although when i was younger i doubted i could even have kids and that is around the time i became 'active' so you never know.
