Snake Jewelry
Snake jewelry is all the rage today. In the Victorian era the snake was the symbol of eternal love. It has come to symbolize sexuality, rebirth and wisdom.
Scarab Beetles
The Scarab Beetle has been an extremely popular motif in jewelry throughout history since the time of ancient Egypt. It embodies the concept of existence, development, and growth, and was seen as a form of protection. The Victorians were fascinated with nature and particularly insects and their insect creations are incredible feats of jewelry making.
Egyptian Revival
During the 19th century, the discoveries of ancient archaeological finds influenced and brought on what is referred to as "archaeological revival jewelry," or "Egyptian revival jewelry." The initial Egyptian Revival period flourished from the 1820s onward, and was inspired by ancient Egyptian imagery, such as the scarab beetle, sphinxes, pharaohs, and hieroglyphics.
The pendant is 1 1/8 inches (29mm) tall with the bales. It is 1 1/4 inches (32mm) wide.
The scarab is 18mm by 15mm by 8mm. There may be a small nick off of the antique scarab stone.
The pendant is 10-12 Karat Gold.
