A super cool pair of scarab beetle earrings!
The earrings are made of two perfectly preserved Victorian scarab beetles, which have been set at a later date in 9ct gold fancy mounts.
The beetles have fabulous natural bright green luminescent shells, which are in amazing condition.
The gold setting is open at the back, so you can see the full detail of the beetle, which is so fascinating.
The earrings have solid 9ct gold shepherds hooks.
The 9ct gold setting is hallmarked for 9ct gold, Birmingham 1965.
The earrings look excellent on, and are super light so they are very comfortable to wear.
The trend of wearing real bug jewellery first became popular in the Victorian period.
People were fascinated with the new discoveries of foreign lands, exotic animals and bugs during this time.
As urbanisation grew, the Victorians become more detached from nature, so using bugs and animals as adornment was a way to bring them a little closer to nature again!
