In Ancient Egypt the Scarab Beetle was thought to resemble the works of the Egyptian God Khepri (Sun God Ra). Ra was said to have had the ability to renew the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon and carrying it through the other world after sunset, only to renew it again day after day. The Scarab beetle served as a symbol of resurrection, renewal, and transformation. Ancient hieroglyphics displayed the image of the beetle translated as 'to transform' or 'to come into being'. It looks as though the Scarab Beetle has come to life in the superb design of this pharaonic collar necklace. Rows and rows of multi-colored ceramic beads adorn the detail of this handcrafted and carefully arranged necklace with a single row of Scarab, cobalt, beetles fashioned in the beauty of Queen Nefertiti. The cultural aspect of this piece transforms glum into gorgeous.
