The winged Scarab is one of my all-time favourite symbols.
This ancient symbol, found in Egyptian culture, symbolizes
rebirth, renewal, resurrection, transformation, and
growth.
It is a powerful reminder of our ability to recreate
ourselves, open new doors and opportunities, and transform
ourselves during the endless tides of life. It is also a
symbol of the eternity of our soul and its journey to the
afterlife.
New Handwoven Winged Scarab Bracelet
The winged Scarab represented the Sun, the source of life
for the ancient Egyptians, and the Sun god Ra, the creator
of the cosmos, represented life and divine protection
against death and disease.
The Scarab was often depicted in jewelry,
hieroglyphs, engravings, and statues and as a symbol of
resurrection. It was placed next to the dead so that they
could be resurrected and thus attain eternal life. During
mummification, heart scarabs were placed on the deceased
to protect the heart and ensure it would not testify
against them during judgment. Scarabs, often crafted from
greenstone or other materials, were engraved on sarcophagi
and tombs, believed to offer protection in the afterlife.
The Scarab beetle symbol depicts the dung beetle rolling
its ball of dung, and for the ancient Egyptians, it
symbolizes Ra rolling the Sun disc in the sky,
therefore representing the concept of rebirth,
mirroring the Sun’s daily journey. They served as
protective amulets, funerary symbols, seals, and political
statements, often bearing inscriptions of spells and
prayers.
Various types of scarabs included heart scarabs, funerary
scarabs, amuletic scarabs, royal commemorative scarabs,
administrative scarabs, name scarabs, transformational
scarabs, and sacred scarabs.
I’ve created this small version of the winged scarab after
many requests. The bracelet is handwoven in silver or gold
with beautiful natural stones such as tourmaline, fire
opal, and natural turquoise so that each one of you can
pick up his/her favourite combination for the inlaid stone
of the scarab and the bracelet itself.
