Description:
This double-sided pendant necklace is inspired by the Egyptian scarab beetle. With an Australian opal set in 18k yellow gold and sterling silver, this beetle charm has wings that can open and close together. Mokumegane is a traditional blacksmith technique which fuses sheets of metal together to create an organic wave design, and is one of Black Barc's signature styles. Opals represent justice and harmony and is protective stone in dangerous places. Opal also represents love and passion, and is a highly emotional stone that releases inhibitions and intensifies feelings of love.

Chain length: 17.5"
21.56mm x 15.85mm x 12.81 mm (beetle-hand to toe x side toe to toe x thickness)
