Vintage Egyptian Revival Scarab Bracelet

Description
Five molded glass scarabs in lapis blue, oxblood, amber, and two shades of green rest in smooth gold-tone bezels, joined by ribbed bar links. A 1950s–1960s piece from the mid-century Egyptian Revival, when the scarab returned as a quiet emblem of renewal. The glass is swirled and marbled, so each beetle catches light a little differently. Light on the wrist and easy to wear every day.

Materials
Gold-tone metal, molded glass
