22ct Gold & Lapis Lazuli Egyptian Bracelet

This 22ct gold and lapis lazuli Egyptian style scarab bracelet is 18cm long with an S clasp. The average UK wrist size is 15-16cm circumference, so this should fit most women. This bracelet can be sized up if required.

When I first carved my little scarab from a hunk of wax back in November, I didn’t really know what I was going to do with it, but thought….let’s make it something special….and here it is on the bench.

I wanted this piece to have a ‘just excavated’ feel without being dull gold, so I used a high shine only on the wings of the little beetle. I also wanted to make sure the piece retained the naivety of the carved scarabs found in Ancient Egypt. I’ve been collecting tiny scarabs since I was VERY small.

To the ancient Egyptians, scarabs were the bringers of the new day, celebrated for rolling the new sun into the dawn sky. Not only does he represent the coming of the new day, he also carries a secret message that only the wearer can see.
Gold itself was also highly treasured, representing godliness, wealth and prestige.
Lastly, lapis lazuli was also highly prized. It was considered a royal stone, believed to contain the souls of the gods. Even the garments of priests and royalty were dyed with lapis to indicate their status. They also believed lapis lazuli would lead the soul into immortality and open the heart to love.
