Ankh & Snakes Jewelry

Ankh and Snakes jewelry by Unna brings together two of the oldest sacred symbols of Egypt: the ankh, key of eternal life, and the serpent, symbol of kundalini, the life force that rises through the body. The ankh opens the doorways between worlds. The snake coils and uncoils, teaching the mysteries of death, rebirth and transformation. Together they remind you that your body is a temple of life force, endlessly renewing and sacred.

These are not only symbols. They describe stages in the evolution of human consciousness, as the mystery schools teach: the two serpents that unite so that a person becomes whole, and the ankh that joins earth and sky within us. Unna builds a bridge to these processes so you can feel their vibration through the body rather than as information for the mind. The serpent has been cut off from its primordial meaning: it is the force of the earth and our bond with the earth's consciousness, the flow of kundalini that runs through us, and it belongs to the tantric and healing goddesses such as Isis. The ankh, an instrument of the priestesses, appears on temple walls in the hands of goddesses, gods and pharaohs.

The collection includes ankh necklaces and earrings, and snake rings, hoops and chokers: the Kundalini Ankh pieces with a magenta ruby, the Kundalini Ring, Hoops and Choker, where two serpents meet in sacred union, and the Mini Ankh Choker for every day. Most pieces are handmade in Bali in 18k gold-plated brass, and several come in sterling silver or dual tone.
