Couldn't load pickup availability
The Kheper Scarab necklace consists of a Zamak pendant, combined with a gold-plated stainless steel chain and findings.
The pendant represents the Kheper scarab, a major symbol of ancient Egypt. The shape is clear, immediately recognizable. The rolo chain provides a regular presence around the neck, without being excessive.
Materials & use
The pendant is made of Zamak, an alloy composed of aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and copper, known for its strength and stability.
The chain and all findings are made of gold-plated stainless steel. They do not change color over time. The necklace is resistant to water and perspiration, for everyday wear.
Maintenance is simple: a gentle cleaning preserves the appearance of the pendant.
The Kheper scarab
In ancient Egypt, the Kheper scarab — or Khepri — is associated with movement, transformation, and renewal. The insect rolling its ball evokes the cosmic cycle and the path of the Sun (Ra) in the sky.
This ancient symbol has crossed centuries. Its resonances are still found today in many African cultures, in the forms, representations, and ways of thinking about the world.
