The KARABOS necklace draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian mythology, featuring a hand-engraved natural rock crystal carved into the shape of a beetle. The term “karabos,” meaning “horned beetle,” was revered by the ancient Egyptians. Scarabs were vital in Egyptian jewelry and rituals, symbolizing rebirth, resurrection, good fortune, and protection. Representing life and death, the scarab beetle was a powerful emblem in ancient culture.
The necklace’s bale showcases the ankh, a hieroglyphic symbol representing the key of life, embodying physical existence, immortality, and reincarnation. Its design features a teardrop-shaped hoop with a cross, signifying the sun’s ascent.
