Antique Scarab beetle brooch, 9k yellow gold

About the Item

The insect jewellery of the Victorian and Edwardian eras is always popular, like this gorgeous antique, Egyptian revival, 9ct yellow gold and scarab beetle brooch. This piece features two real scarab beetles, claw set to the centre in rich 9ct gold with open back settings. The Victorian's began somewhat of an obsession with insect themed jewels from scarabs to spiders, entomology was increasingly popular with insects appearing in many places not least jewellery. They were seen as an exotic fashion and this carried on into the early 20th century and is certainly a popular choice amongst our customers (and us!) Today. The scarabs have a lovely iridescent green shimmer. It has an old safety pin style fastener. Marks and era: Fully hallmarked for 9ct gold, Birmingham assay office, 1905. Condition: Good used condition overall, light surface wear commensurate with age, some light surface wear to the iridescent green.
