Antique scarab beetle pendant, 9ct gold, Charm

A beautiful antique Victorian scarab beetle drop pendant. It has a 9ct yellow gold closed back setting and houses a real iridescent green scarab beetle set into the beaded gold claw setting.

The Victorian's developed a great fascination with the natural world and all things exotic, this saw the popular Egyptian revival jewellery surge into popularity and this heavily influenced both jewellery and fashion. This fascination continued into the early 20th century, with many beautiful insect and animal themed jewels being produced in the period. Egyptian revival style remains a popular choice, even today and has never really gone out of style!
