This vintage carved blue gemstone scarab beetle is set in a pretty oval frame of sterling silver rose buds and leaves.

The unusual design is 1 ¼" wide by 15/16" high and 5/16" deep.
The scarab is hand0carved carved of what appears to be lapis lazuli and is set in a beaded bezel mounting. The rosebuds are all hand-formed as are the sterling leaves and soldered to an oval frame. This frame is not marked but tests as sterling. The pin shank is secured with a C-clasp. I would date the piece to about 1910 and it is in wonderful condition and merges the exoticism of Egypt with the eternal beauty and romance of roses. This lovely pin can also be worn as a pendant when hung vertically on a ribbon or chain with a bit of thickness to offset the width of the clasp and add some importance worthy of the handcrafted bijoux.
