Gold Nugget Earrings with Scarab and Diamond

These elegant earrings feature a top element shaped like a gold nugget, with an organic, textured gold finish. Below, a black agate beads white pearl add softness. The main drop is made from an iridescent scarab wing, backed with a 24K gold leaf sheet to enhance its natural shine. The wing is protected by a 9K gold frame and finished with a small gold ball at the base, combining strength, movement, and natural beauty. 

Scarab designs by LAdV are a signature expression of the House’s identity, where symbolism, nature, and craftsmanship meet. Revered across ancient cultures—most notably in Egypt—the scarab symbolised rebirth, protection, and renewal. Its naturally iridescent wings, formed without pigment, shift in luminous hues that cannot be dyed or replicated and endure for generations. Green speaks of renewal, blue of protection, dark tones of strength in mystery, and gold of eternity—together reflecting nature’s quiet intelligence and timeless transformation. At LAdV, this meaning is reinterpreted through refined handwork, precious metals, gemstones, and natural materials unique to the brand. Wings are ethically collected only after their natural life cycle, then hand-sorted, prepared, and set one by one, each requiring 12–15 minutes of focused craftsmanship. Their iridescence is never altered, only protected. Crafted slowly and in limited numbers, every scarab jewel carries its own character, movement, and soul—an emblem that is unmistakably LAdV.
