These Egyptian scarab earrings have a drop length of .5 inches long. We use antique silver plated pewter for a beautiful, long-lasting finish.
There are hieroglyphic symbols on both sides of the scarabs.
The ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab was the earthly manifestation of the god Khepri, and pushed the sun across the sky each day, only to disappear and magically re-appear the next morning. As such, it is a powerful amulet for self-creation, transformation, and re-birth.
