AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage yellow gold pendant in the shape of a scarab. The pendant is adorned with a round, faceted ruby of about 0.17 ct, set in an open mount, and 5 single-cut diamonds totaling about 0.025 ct, in pavé. The scarab is highly detailed, with openwork elements and meticulous design.
The scarab was regarded as a sacred animal in Egyptian mythology. Khepri was the god of the rising sun, who created a new sun each day, so to speak. The dung balls, produced and rolled by these scarabs, were also associated with the sun because of their shape, and consequently with Khepri.

Clarity: SI1 / SI2
Color: G / H
