These are three exceptional scarabs. They can be used to create rings or pendant jewelry. For me they are simply exceptional works of art. The blue faience scarab is a full 1.25 inches long, which is large for this type scarab. The white ceramic scarab is even larger at slightly more than 1.5 inches long. It has a deep ultramarine lapis blue glaze. The dark grey scarab appears to be made of slate (or some similar dark stone) and has its markings cut into the stone; it is about 1.25 inches long.
I received these scarabs on my 60th birthday. They really expand my collection. Scarabs like these are handmade, carved, and fired. The stone scarab is simply carved.
