ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Fascinating! This Mid-Century vintage scarab stickpin, bought as a souvenir in Egypt in 1944, has made its way to Lang. The turquoise scarab, with its unique natural markings, is set in a bezel decorated with a rope design, and the reverse is carved with an ankh and hieroglyphics. An original letter dated August 25, 1944, accompanies the pin and explains its origin as well as the fact the Egyptians considered the beetle 'an emblem of eternal life and one was put in the heart of each mummy.' We suggest you pin it close to your heart. Hand fabricated in 14K yellow gold.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
