29 million years ago, a meteor fused Saharan sand into glass. Libyan Desert Glass, pale champagne to honey gold, carries that moment within it. Most famously, the Egyptians carved it into the scarab at the heart of Tutankhamun's pectoral. Jean's Egyptian Anniversary Collection honours that lineage, setting authenticated, rosecut stones by hand. Genuine supply is limited and irreplaceable. The Libyan Desert Glass Scarab Amulets are available now.
The scarab deisgn comes from the dung beetle, a creature that might seem unremarkable at first. But in ancient Egyptian culture, it carried one of the most significant symbolic meanings. The beetle rolls a ball across the ground, and from that ball, new life emerges. To the Egyptians, this mirrored the movement of the sun across the sky, the daily act of rising, crossing, and setting, only to rise again.
There’s a question I’m often asked when a piece sells out: “Will you be restocking it?” It’s a beautiful question....
