The scarab beetle, and stylized carvings of them, have been a symbol of eternal life in Egypt for thousands of years. They have been used in jewelry for just as long! The discovery of the tomb of King Tut in the Victorian Era brought about the first Egyptian Revival, and the symbols of ancient Egypt have come back into fashion several times since then. This stunning piece is from the 1950s, the most recent Egyptian Revival!
