Five colorful Semiprecious stones scarab beetles are bezel set in a chain necklace: Carnelian, Amethyst, Lapis, Tigers Eye, Jadeite. The chain is 14k gold over sterling silver. Signed STERLING + 14K 1/20th GF Symmetalic. Symmetalic is no longer produced, is hard to find and highly sought after by collectors. Truly a remarkable find. Wear it for good luck! Condition: the Amethyst stone has a chip at the BACK (can't be noticed when worn). Other wise -in a very good vintage condition!
There was a huge surge of interest in all things Egyptian in the early twentieth century specially because the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Such a jewel may have likely been a souvenir from travels to Egypt. The scarab beetle was a significant Egyptian symbol of constant rebirth and eternal life. In ancient Egyptian religion, the sun god Ra is seen to roll across the sky each day, transforming bodies and souls. Beetles of the Scarabaeidae family (dung beetle) roll dung into a ball as food and as a brood chamber in which to lay eggs; this way, the larvae hatch and are immediately surrounded by food. For these reasons the scarab was seen as a symbol of this heavenly cycle and of the idea of rebirth or regeneration. The Egyptian god Khepri, Ra as the rising sun, was often depicted as a scarab beetle or as a scarab beetle-headed man. The ancient Egyptians believed that Khepri renewed the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon, then carried it through the other world after sunset, only to renew it, again, the next day.
