Imperial Scarab & Amethyst Snake Drop Necklace

This snake necklace is an expressive fusion of movement, colour, and refined craftsmanship. Crafted in silver with a dramatic black rhodium finish, it features a sculpted head in 9K gold set with a deep purple amethyst and vivid ruby eyes. Elegant 9K gold detailing flows through the design, accented with rose-cut diamonds and pink tourmalines that add layers of sparkle. The sinuous body is composed of black wood beads richly covered with iridescent scarab wings, while hand-cut scarab neck elements articulate the moving sections, creating a natural green shimmer with every motion. The piece is gracefully completed with a treated ruby drop suspended from the tail on a 9K gold setting, lending a striking final flourish to this captivating necklace.

Scarab designs by LAdV are a signature expression of the House’s identity, blending symbolism, nature, and craftsmanship. Inspired by the scarab’s ancient meaning of renewal and protection, LAdV reinterprets the form through refined handwork, precious metals, and gemstones, often paired with natural materials unique to the brand. Each design is crafted slowly and in limited numbers, giving every scarab jewel its own character, movement, and soul—an artistic emblem that has become unmistakably LAdV.
