After two years of pandemic, where we had to close ourselves to the world, I wanted to make this new series of pendants inspired by the sacred scarabs of ancient Egypt, as a symbol of rebirth and a better future.

In the culture of ancient Egypt, the beetle, it was a symbol of the resurrection and eternal rebirth in becoming and transforming. Thanks to that, it ensured only happy events and a constant improvement of the intuitive and spiritual faculties.

This precious pendant is made with the same material used for Tutankhamun's pectoral: Tektite Gialla, also called Libyan Gold Glass. It is a glass of meteoric origins of a pale straw yellow colour, full of symbolic and esoteric properties, which then add to the scarab's talismanic power.

I carved this beetle by hand in my workshop. It is part of a limited edition of 12 unique numbered pieces made from a large Libyan Tektite nugget (Lybian glass) found in the Hamada al Hamra desert. The mineral glass of this tektite is of exceptional quality and transparency.

These are the coordinates of the discovery of the Tekite nugget:
– (Lat N 25°22’ Long E 25°28’).
This pendant is no. 5 of 12.

I engraved this scarab by polishing some parts (chest, the head and the lower part) and frosting the others (le elitre), per dare un effetto anticato, quasi da oggetto di scavo. Poi ho aggiunto un semplice passante in oro lasciato volutamente grezzo, per accentuare l’effetto da reperto archeologico. Questi scarabei mi sono usciti dalla grande pepita ognuno con la propria personalità, quindi ogni mio scarabeo è diverso dall’altro!
Guardateli tutti, e pensateli bene, perchè solo uno vi sceglierà per sempre.

Ho forgiato il passante in oro giallo 750/°°, a mano nel mio laboratorio, as always with traditional equipment.

Free with the pendant, i will send a fabric drawstring with gold trim.

Like all my pieces of jewelery I will send this pendant complete with guarantee of authenticity and uniqueness signed and stamped CORAL NORD and a gift box to store it..
