A striking vintage stick pin topped with an iridescent molded glass scarab, rendered in relief with articulated wings and body. The glass surface shifts between amber, violet, and blue tones under changing light, set into a dark metal bezel and mounted on a slender straight pin.
Scarab imagery has long been associated with protection and transformation, and this piece reflects mid-century fascination with symbolic and mythic forms translated into decorative jewelry.
