Thank you Nick J.C. Pierce for this cool image of you wearing your Ankh XL Ring.
 
Nick J.C. Pierce's Testimonial-  Ever since I was a toddler, I’ve been in love with Erykah Badu. Yeah, you can laugh, but can you blame me? She’s a beautiful, conscious spirit who taught me to love myself, and also taught me to embrace my culture and roots. I remember when I went to my first Badu concert. I was fifteen years old. She was in Philly promoting her album New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh. She came out onstage to the tune of “20 Feet Tall,” with her hands covering her face, revealing the beautiful work of Studio of Ptah: http://images.popmatters.com/blog_art/b/badupa-21.jpg

From then on, I was determined to find jewelry like that. Luckily, a year later, I stumbled upon Studio of Ptah’s Twitter page. We began talking rings, and just a few weeks later, I received my custom Ankh XL ring in the mail.

My first thought when I saw it was “how am I supposed to write a paper with this thing on?” Fortunately, the ring sits comfortably on my finger. The reactions I get from people when I wear my ring are surprising. Not only do people compliment on its stunning design, they always want to know the background on the symbols, its origin, its meaning, etc. Studio of Ptah jewelry is more than a fashion statement— it’s a call to consciousness. Studio of Ptah proves that African style is more than just beads and bright colors—it’s knowledge and culture (not that I’m knocking beads and bright colors. They’re nice, too).

We connected with a great new client who wanted a personalized custom Ankh XL ring similar to those we make for Legendary Songstress Erykah Badu.  She had been looking for the company which made Erykah's rings for years and we were glad we finally met.  We suggested she go even bigger and bolder than what we had done before and she was more than happy to let us.  We were given basic guidelines but this client was so confident in our design taste that she allowed us to really do something special for her. This was the largest Ankh XL ring we have ever done.

Thank you Dr. Anderson- Davis For sending this amazing pic of you wearing your Studio of Ptah ANKH XL Ring.  A large Ankh Ring looks great on her hand.  

Dr. Anderson's Testimonial-  
I had been looking for a large ankh ring like the one Erykah Badu wore and your site was the ONLY one that I could find that made them, and believe me I searched high and low. I casually mentioned my search and your site in a conversation I was having with my husband. Well, little did I know that he was actually paying attention. lol. Christmas of last year he surprised me with one and the craftsmanship just blew me away! Whenever I wear it I get so many compliments and inquiries about where to find one. Studio of Ptah made this a memorable gift that I will always cherish.
