Gorgeous Egyptian Revival bracelet with coral malachite and turquoise details and a lapis lazuli scarab center piece. At it's widest point size is 6"¾ plus 1? Gap weight 59.4grams no marks but tested as sterling silver The scarab in ancient Egyptian cultures symbolized good luck. The scarab is also the symbol of the god Khepera, who rolled the ball of the sun across the sky to "rebirth" every morning, represented resurrection and life. The hand carved stone scarab is set into the silver bracelet; This ornamentation adds a nice touch to the geometric design of the bracelet and its scale like construction.

The loops on the back of the bracelet expose the handmade elements of the bracelet and the stunning silver work. On the back of the bracelet you can also see the base of the scarab and traces of a pattern on the stone that lead me to believe this piece is quite old. The mix of organic bezel set stones among the etched lines on the silver make this piece a stunning piece of craftsmanship.

The bracelet feels great when worn, both elegant and unique. The Egyptian Revival style flourished in the 1920's and is generally attributed to the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb. Great addition to your collection?
