Incredible Antique Victorian ‘Egyptian Revival’ Sterling Silver, Blue Enamel & Carved Stone Scarab Beatle Necklace c.1900’s

An exceptional example of Egyptian Revival jewellery, this rare antique necklace dates to circa 1900 and captures the fascination with ancient Egyptian symbolism that influenced jewellery design at the turn of the century. Crafted in sterling silver, the delicate chain is punctuated with vivid blue enamel and lapis lazuli accents, leading to an elaborate arrangement of suspended charms. Three carved gemstone scarabs hang from fine silver chains, accompanied by two blue and white enamel ankhs, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life. A beautifully detailed enamelled winged motif forms the centrepiece, with fine draped chains lending movement and elegance to the design. Measuring 40cm in length and weighing just 10.8 grams, the necklace has a wonderfully delicate character, with its intricate construction and rich cobalt blue detailing creating a striking contrast against the silver. A rare and highly collectible piece of antique jewellery, distinguished by its unusual design, symbolic motifs and remarkable craftsmanship.
