This stunning pair of vintage jewelry items, likely earrings or small links for a bracelet, showcases a captivating Egyptian Revival design featuring lustrous scarab beetles. Each piece is composed of multiple individual beetle links connected to form a circular or hoop shape. The scarabs exhibit a deep, rich iridescence, shimmering with colors of blue, green, purple, and gold, characteristic of natural abalone shell or high-quality vintage glass. This style was highly popular during the early 20th-century Egyptian Revival movement, symbolizing rebirth, regeneration, and good fortune. The craftsmanship suggests a quality vintage piece, likely set in a base metal with a gold-tone or sterling silver finish. A magnificent and unique accessory that promises to be a conversation starter.
