Description
DeepL TranslateA magnificent and finely crafted antique Victorian pendant, this 3.20 carat turquoise and 0.23 carat diamond piece is a striking example of 19th-century Egyptian Revival jewellery, fashioned in luxurious 18ct yellow gold. Designed in the form of a stylised scarab beetle—an iconic symbol of protection and rebirth in ancient Egyptian culture—the pendant showcases a captivating oval cabochon turquoise forming the beetle’s abdomen, complemented by a smaller circular cabochon turquoise for the head, both collet set for a clean, elegant finish. The outspread ribbed wings, sculpted with scalloped detail, are adorned with eight pavé-set Old European cut diamonds that graduate in size, adding a refined touch of sparkle. Further cabochon turquoise stones are horizontally set into the beetle’s extended limbs, while a final turquoise embellishes the pendant’s apex, suspended from fine 18ct gold chains that connect to the wing tips. Beyond its beauty and craftsmanship, this piece holds enduring meaning and sentiment. As a genuine Victorian-era antique, it carries historical charm and uniqueness, offering a one-of-a-kind alternative to modern jewellery. The vivid turquoise evokes serenity and healing, while the diamonds lend understated brilliance. Thoughtfully designed and symbolically rich, this pendant is a sustainable, heirloom-quality gift—an exquisite blend of history, artistry, and emotion.
