What is Scarab Jewelry?
1 Answer
Scarab jewelry is jewelry that contains a molded or sculpted dung beetle, also known as a scarab. In Ancient Egypt, the scarab was a revered creature, known for its divine affiliation with the sun go Ra. Since the dung beetle was seen as a form of protection, it was featured in many beloved Egyptian accessories. This symbol traveled to the Medditerrainan and parts of the Middle East during the Bronze Age.
