A pair of vintage sterling silver drop earrings featuring carved tiger's eye scarabs. The scarabs are bezel set in sterling silver with finely detailed borders and are suspended from floral tops, accented with marcasites. Small connecting loops allow the tiger's eye drops to move freely when worn.
Scarab jewelry, and Egyptian revival jewelry, experienced a renewed period of popularity during the mid-20th century, and these earrings likely date to the 1950s - 1960s.
