For the ancient Egyptians, the scarab beetle symbolized creation and was associated with the sun-god, Khepri, who rolled the sun across the sky every evening and emerged anew every morning.
I made this necklace by drawing 6 different designs onto sterling silver and copper, cutting them out by hand with a tiny saw, and riveting them together with sterling silver rivets. I used a file to engrave the lines of the feathers on the wings.
Above the Scarabs head is held an orb with the Flower of life design, with a rose cut citrine cabochon set in the centre.
The scarab piece has a wingspan of 4cm. It is hung on a 60cm sterling silver chain.
Your purchase will come carefully packaged in a gift box complete with wax seal.
