WRE-12K Gold Filled-Natural Stone Scarab Horseshoe Double Lucky Brooch

A vintage brooch with 10 types of colorful natural stones, including transparent stones and stones with mysterious patterns, set in prongs on a horseshoe-shaped base. Each stone cabochon is engraved with a pattern that resembles a scarab (golden bug).

The history of scarab jewelry dates back to the time of Cleopatra in Egypt, and it has been considered a symbol of rebirth and eternal life, as well as protection and fertility.

I think it’s a bit unusual to use 10 types of stones, but all the jewelry using scarabs are very colorful. This is because blue represents the Nile and the sky, red represents the sun, and green represents new life, and for this reason traditionally, stones such as carnelian, chrysopola, chrysoprase, lace agate, tiger eye, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, turquoise, and amethyst were used. Power stones such as these are used.

Horseshoe is also a lucky symbol known in the West as a talisman that brings good luck. It is said to be so-called because the horseshoe protects horses, and because its shape resembles a crescent moon, the moon has been worshiped since ancient times.
