<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 406529, member: 2844&quot;]Here are some Egyptian made scarabs, they call it faience, probably after ancient Egyptian faience. What is in a name. The Egyptians make different qualities and coulours, but these come close to your scarabs.</p><p><img src="https://i.etsystatic.com/11779777/r/il/c44bad/876437391/il_570xN.876437391_oxwt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/257940811/20-egyptian-mixed-hand-made-carved-luck?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/257940811/20-egyptian-mixed-hand-made-carved-luck?ref=shop_home_active_2" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/257940811/20-egyptian-mixed-hand-made-carved-luck?ref=shop_home_active_2</a></p><p>According to the listing the scarabs have a glazed look. Maybe they didn&#039;t like their picture being taken.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>They also sell jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of my Egyptian bracelets, it has the same Ottoman style quatrefoil links as your scarab necklace.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]141638[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen similar ones listed as Czech (with &#039;Czech glass&#039; beads), which can lead to confusion in determining the origin. But this one was made in Egypt, ca 1930, using Egyptian made clay beads and Ottoman style gilt brass links and filigree. The original owner bought it in Egypt.</p><p><br /></p><p>A closeup of the filigree clasp, with side views of the clay beads:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]141639[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
