Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.
This eye-catching necklace with a spinning pendant reimagines a faience scarab ca. 1479–1458 B.C.) bearing a wedjat eye (a healing symbol of rebirth) on its underside in brilliant turquoise. The scarab beetle was one of the most popular amulets in ancient Egypt—the insect was associated with the sun god Re and was believed to possess powers of self-regeneration.
