Antique Scarab Necklace

These antique scarab pieces are wild. Full-on "I casually inherited this from my great aunt" energy, but gently reworked into something new - without losing their vintage sensibility (or authenticity!).

Kat of Stone Cooper (a vintage jewelry dealer we've worked with for years - she truly knows her stuff) found these mid-century scarab bracelets and reimagined them into one-of-a-kind necklaces.

Thanks to Kat’s keen eye for detail (and secret sources, haha - no but seriously) - each of these necklaces are made of 100% genuine stones (not resin or glass!), all with carved scarabs and protection symbols on the back (you can literally flip the necklaces over to see the carvings on each stone). The stones included could be tiger's eye, bloodstone, carnelian, jade, chalcedony, onyx, or quartz, depending on the piece, so every single one is genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Fun fact: Scarabs happen to be one of the oldest symbols in jewelry - dating back to 1550 BC! The scarab symbol was said to represent creation, renewal, and protection. In the 1940s–60s, designers took this ancient motif and ran with it, which resulted in the scarab bracelets that make up these necklaces.
