The ancient Egyptians attached great significance to the combination of lapis, gold and the humble scarab beetle (a symbol of resurrection and transformation). Jewelry made of gold and lapis was believed to place the wearer under the protection of the sun and the heavens. Gold was regarded as a divine metal related to the Egyptian sun god, Re (or Ra). Lapis was thought to be a sacred stone, its celestial significance represented in the rich blue color of this stone. Item ships in beautiful jewelry box.
