Lapis Scarab and Gold Earrings

Colorful and eye-catching scarab jewels such as these earrings are terrific examples of the Egyptian revival aesthetic that has been wildly popular since the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. Scarabs are symbols of transformation, protection, renewal and rebirth. They represent eternal life and the natural cycles of life: a poignant and important symbol imbued with the mystical symbolism of Egyptian-style decorative arts! These earrings feature finely carved lapis lazuli scarabs set in 14 karat yellow gold mountings with a petal motif at the top. The lapis displays rich royal blue color with natural pyrite flecking throughout the stone, giving the scarabs wonderful depth and variation in appearance. Their articulated form gives the earrings subtle movement and presence. Distinctive, symbolic and wonderfully collectible, these are a beautiful pair of vintage Egyptian revival earrings featuring one of the most beloved gemstones since ancient times.
