small, free form beetle scarab

I've been doing a lot of looking at Egyptian jewelry lately for inspiration.  This is based on a large pendant of gold, lapis lazuli, and enamels.  The colours are every bit as rich today as they were 1000's of years ago. 

This is a small piece that would make a very nice pendant or pen.  It would also look very pretty in your hair, attached to a small hair clip or bobby pin.
