Scarab Bead Link Bracelet

Inspired by ancient Egypt, a scarab beetle bead link bracelet.

The bracelet is part of a range accompanying the British Museum exhibition Hieroglyphs: unlocking ancient Egypt.

This bracelet is made in the USA from pewter and is finished with a lobster clasp. The inner side of each scarab beetle is inscribed with hieroglyphic symbols.  

In ancient Egypt, the scarab dung beetle was associated with the rising sun and eternal existence. Ancient Egyptians witnessed scarab beetles pushing balls of dung up hills, and believed the sun to be propelled around the earth in the same way; pushed by a giant beetle. Scarabs were seen as powerful amulets, as they symbolised regeneration.

A beautiful jewellery gift celebrating nature.
