Antique Vintage 15k Rolled Gold Egyptian Bloodstone Agate Scarab Beetle Necklace

Description: Vintage Heavy 15k Rolled Gold Egyptian Revival Bloodstone Agate Scarab Beetle NecklaceThis is a very unique and hard to come by (I've never seen another one like this) vintage ancient Egyptian revival scarab beetle necklace. This unique hand-strung multi-gemstone necklace is comprised of 24 hieroglyphic scarabs, 160+ bloodstones, finished with a pair of 15k rolled gold clasp. Ancient Egyptians worshiped scarab beetles. The beetle's habit of rolling spheres of dung across the ground reminded Egyptians of the sun's movement across the sky, performed by the deity Re. Scarabs, therefore, became sacred symbols in ancient Egypt symbolizing the god of the sun, protection, transformation and resurrection. Both the hieroglyphic scarabs and bloodstones symbolize protection of the wearer. It would make a wonderful gift to your friend, loved-one or yourself. Egyptian revival jewelry is highly sought after. Don't miss out! Background on Egyptian revival jewelry: The artifacts of Ancient Egypt began to creep into the modern consciousness due to archaeological discoveries in the 19th century. The translation of the Rosetta Stone in 1822, along with the construction of the Suez Canal between 1859 to 1869, kept Egypt in the news. However this influence wasn’t seen in jewelry design until 1860’s, when French archaeologist Auguste Mariette made new discoveries of Ancient Egyptian tombs and architecture. These tombs held artifacts that were shipped back to France and displayed at the Louvre museum. This, along with the subsequent British control of Egypt in the 1880’s ensured an Egyptian revival in the Victorian Era.
