Antique Carnelian Scarab Earrings Egyptian Revival Gold Pearl

Description

Art Deco Egyptian Revival Earrings with stunning Scarabs which are hand carved Carnelian gems. The Carnelians are beautifully carved on both sides. They are surrounded by a halo of lovely seed pearls. The pendant earrings are 10 Karat Gold. For centuries, Ancient Egypt has held the fascination of the public and continues to inspire artists and designers alike. With the discoveries of Egyptian tombs, and the treasures within, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the exotically opulent lives of the Pharaohs were beyond anyone’s imagination. Of all the precious objects unearthed in the tombs, the lavish jewels were perhaps the most fascinating for their extravagance and never-before-seen symbolism. Artisans embraced the vivid contrasting colors, motifs, and symbols more daringly than ever before. Whether the jewels were complete, faithful reproductions or real artifacts preciously decorated in similar style, the Egyptian Revival jewelry is lavish and magnificent. The earrings are 28mm (1 1/8 inches) long by 13mm (1/2 inch) wide. The scarabs are 16mm long. They have screw backs which can be converted to posts if desired. The earrings are hallmarked 10K. The earrings weigh 5.6 grams.
