A captivating original 1920s Egyptian Revival necklace created at the height of the era’s fascination with ancient Egypt. The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 ignited an extraordinary wave of Egyptomania across European fashion, architecture and the decorative arts. Jewelry designers combined ancient symbols with the sharp geometry, brilliant color and modern elegance of Art Deco.

At the center of this pendant is a winged scarab with a luminous turquoise cabochon forming its body. The outstretched silver wings are articulated with vivid red and white enamel, creating a dramatic graphic rhythm and a wonderful contrast with the turquoise. Despite its compact dimensions, the pendant has a strong architectural presence and immediately recognizable silhouette.

In ancient Egyptian belief, the scarab was associated with Khepri, the divine embodiment of the rising morning sun. It represented rebirth, renewal, transformation and the daily return of light. Scarab amulets were also carried as protective symbols. The winged form strengthens this sense of movement and celestial power, turning the pendant into far more than an exotic decorative motif.

This necklace captures the very essence of 1920s Egyptian Revival: archaeological romance, ancient symbolism and daring Art Deco color brought together in a wearable jewel. It is an evocative talisman for a new beginning, personal transformation or protection, as well as a distinctive collector’s piece.

The necklace will arrive carefully boxed and wrapped. Optional gift wrapping is available for €4.
