Object Bibi Van Der Velden, Scarab Bunch drop earrings

Amsterdam dwelling jewellery designer, Bibi Van Der Velden is known for her exuberant work which adorns the body like kinetic sculpture. She’s innovative in her choice of sustainable materials including scarab wings and ostrich eggs. Around 40 real scarab wings are individually set on her Scarab Bunch drop earrings, and gently sway with the wearer as they hang from the lobe. The earrings are hand crafted in 18k yellow gold and sterling silver, with the intricate scarabs’ heads at the posts embellished with brown diamonds and tsavorites. The shimmering blue green wings are a marvel to behold. The scarab has a potent meaning in Egyptian culture representing transformation, renewal, and protection. Try them on via an AR tool online.
