Queen of the Nile Earrings have crystal scarab beads and golden double spiral chainmail taking center stage in these Egyptian-themed earrings. In ancient Egypt, scarab beetles were associated with the Egyptian god, Khepri, who pushed the sun across the sky. The ancient Egyptian palette contained six main colors, each with specific meaning. Blue was symbolic of the heavens and water, representing creation and rebirth. Yellow was symbolic of the sun and of gold, representing the eternal and indestructible.
