After the Suez Canal was opened in 1867 a fashion was set off in jewellery design, commonly known as Egyptian Revival to commemorate that sensational event.

The body of the scarab is an amethyst cabochon that has been carved on both sides. The scarab's eyes are gold mounted rose diamonds. The reverse of the scarab is engraved with hieroglyphs. Each wing is set with ten round facetted rubies. The feathers are painted with green and white enamel. In the first row rose diamonds alternate with the green enamel. The feathers of the outer row are decorated with gold granulation, the tips of the feathers are highlighted with white enamel.
