The Egyptian scarab beetle, symbolizing transformation, protection, and the eternal cycle of life, has long been a potent motif in jewelry making; crafted scarab beads evoke the ancient belief in rebirth and the sun's daily renewal—reflecting Khepri, the morning manifestation of the sun god—and are often worn as amulets to guard against harm, attract good fortune, and remind the wearer of personal growth and renewal.
I was born in Egypt, so it was really nice connecting with this Egyptian vendor at the African show in Tucson during gem show time. And, while I was shopping at the booth, my parents’ old neighbor walked up to me! A sign from my parents that was appropriately given at the Egyptian booth! What are the chances!!
*Set of 2 turquoise blue colored scarab beads
*Perfect for earrings
*See photo for measurements
*About a 2 mm hole that runs vertically
*I think it’s ceramic, there will be small imperfections as it is handmade
*Handmade in Egypt
