This piece is my favorite I've made so far. It's a period piece based off of Egyptian pectorals(large chest pieces). The scarab body is a hollow form, which was really not easy with the repoussed front. The legs are hammer textured and the wings are chemically etched and sawn out. The scarab itself is copper and the wings are brass. The scarab rests his feet on a silver disk and holds aloft a bezel set bloodstone in silver. The cording is a silk strip and is held to the piece by silver wire endings. One of the endings is an open hook and is the clasp for the necklace.
