1930s Egyptian Revival Sterling Silver Scarab Bracelet

Who could be bugged by this vibrant Egyptian Revival sterling silver glass scarab bracelet? Representing the concept of rebirth and renewal, the scarab is a classic image in Egyptian Revival jewelry. What is especially interesting about this piece is the distinctly Art Deco interpretation of the traditional scarab motif; it's Cleopatra meets Daisy Buchanan. This piece features five molded glass scarabs, in black, rust, cobalt blue, green, and purple, set in sterling silver. Each scarab is connected by two flat, linear incised links and a jump ring. The bracelet is joined by a spring ring clasp marked sterling.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition. This bracelet appears to never have been worn. A note on the nature of this type of molded glass: you will see air bubbles, an occasional rough spot, and striations, this is original to the piece and not a flaw.

Hallmarks

Marked "STERLING."

Measurements

The bracelet measures approximately 8 1/8” inches long. Each scarab measures approximately 17mm long, 14mm wide and 5mm deep. Weighs 14.7grams.
