A lovely pair of vintage dangling earrings, modeled in 14k yellow gold and set with banded agate cabochons. These oval cabochons havetraditional carved detailsthattransform them intoscarab beetle amulets. Ouragate scarabs are transparent and beautifully figured withred, orange, and black horizontal bands—they are held securely in deep, smooth, footed bezels. They hang from kidney-shaped earwires, andeach earwire is embellished with a puffy gold disc. We love theautumncolor palate, here, the simple lines of the settings and the way they compliment the agates' complex figuring!Scarabs are a long standing symbol of transformation and rebirth. These earrings are a nice size for everyday wear.
