Grand TOUR sterling hallmarked Scarab necklace
Unavailable
From the 1920s come these carved scarabs in hand wrought bezels and hand wrought mummy links. I have seen newer reproductions of these scarabs and am willing to guarantee these are not those and are original from the 20s. The scarabs are set into fancy etruscan sterling bales that are hallmarked on each ( see the photo). They are quite large ( 1 1/3 long) and really thick and well made. The mummys between them are also hand wrought and not machine made. The necklace has hand coiled links on the chain which measures 19 long. I have more photos of these if you want to email me. These are something from the Egyptian revival period that would have been brought back during the Grand Tour period. Very rare and full of history from a period that was full of creatures and animals that were made into jewelry.
