18K Gold Sphinx pendant – Egyptian jewelry

The 18K Gold Sphinx Pendant – Egyptian jewelry is a unique piece. The Great Sphinx is a large human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock. It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafra’s pyramid.

Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx. These stories tell about the powers and mysteries of this sphinx. Some people even believe that there are hidden passage ways or rooms underneath the Great Sphinx, but nothing has been found yet.

The beginning of one story about the Great Sphinx is written on a stele between the sphinx’s paws.

The story reads that one day, a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx. He had been hunting all day, and hence was very tired. He then dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he cleared away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up to its neck).

Since the rest of the story is gone, so you will have to use your imagination to work out the ending. This stele was put up by the pharaoh Thutmosis IV who lived around 1400 B.C.

Furthermore the beard was added during the New Kingdom hundreds of years after the Great Sphinx was first carved.

Like all our other exquisite jewelry, this pendant is handcrafted of 18K gold by our designers. Hence highly detailed, top quality & made to last a lifetime. It also bears the 18K gold stamp for authenticity purposes.
