Details: This striking vintage necklace features 17 hand-carved, prong set stone scarabs linked together with 14k yellow gold links. The richly hued, carved stones include citrine, bloodstone, amethyst, carnelian, jade, tiger's eye, lapis, and jasper. The scarabs are slightly graduated, with the largest at the center. Scarabs are thought to be symbols of rebirth, resurrection and growth and were meaningful in many cultures.
We adore this bohemian style and it works equally well worn casually with a t-shirt or paired with more dressed attire.
Measurements: The necklace is 18.5" and 3/4" at the widest(center.)
Origin: American, c 1970's.
