Amethyst Scarab Charm

An intricately carved amethyst scarab with a polished 9ct gold fitting. The scarab is one of the oldest amuletic forms, originating in Ancient Egypt where it became a symbol of renewal and regeneration. Its strong geometric carving also recalls the Egyptian Revival jewellery of the Art Deco period. The translucent amethyst reveals different details in the carving as the charm moves and catches the light, giving the piece a beautifully sculptural quality. Designed to be worn alone or alongside other charms, and particularly striking on a heavier gold chain.
