Khepri: Scarab Beetle necklace with Lapis Lazuli
This piece just oozes Egypt to me. Lapis lazuli was used by Ancient Egyptians to access sacred knowledge. The most famous Ancient Egyptian insect is the Scarab Beetle. The Egyptian name for the scarab was Kheper.
For this piece I used a silver plated brass stamping * hollow backed * and combined it with Lapis Lazuli stones in two different shapes, and finished it simply with silver plated chain.
Chain is 18" with a 2" extender
More details below about Scarab Beetles
The scarab beetle was the most important *amulet worn by ancient Egyptians. It was symbolically as sacred to the Egyptians as the cross is to Christians.
*An amulet was worn to protect the wearer against evil and was worn on a chain, cord, or strap.
The Egyptians believed that Scarabs were associated with the Egyptian god, Khepri. It was Khepri that pushed the sun across the sky, just like a Scarab bettle would roll a ball of dung. The scarab beetle became an ancient Egyptian symbol for rebirth, the ability to be reborn. Each day the sun disappeared, always to rise again and be reborn the following day.
