Scarab Dragon Earring with Diamonds and Pink Tourmalines

These dragon earrings feature a sculptural design with a scarab-scaled back, giving the piece rich texture and depth. The head and feet are crafted in black rhodium–plated sterling silver, while diamonds and pink tourmalines are set and lined in 18K gold for contrast and warmth. Two red stones bring the dragon’s eyes to life, adding intensity and character. The pins and omega backs are made in 18K gold, completing this bold statement pair. 

Scarabs are found across ancient cultures and revered by the Egyptians, it symbolised rebirth and renewal. Its naturally iridescent wings—formed without pigment—shift in luminous hues and endure for generations, reflecting nature’s quiet brilliance and timeless transformation. Scarab wings display natural colours that cannot be dyed or replicated. Green symbolises renewal, blue is for protection, while dark stands for strength in mystery, and gold being for eternity. Together, they reflect nature’s quiet intelligence, carrying meanings shaped by time, belief, and transformation. At LAdV, scarab jewellery is shaped by patience and restraint. Wings are ethically collected after their natural life cycle, then hand-sorted, prepared, and set one by one—each wing requiring 12–15 minutes of focused handwork. Their iridescence is never altered, only protected, and every piece takes months to complete, guided by nature’s pace and disciplined craftsmanship. 

This piece took 3 months to finish with over 8 craftsmen and designers involved at various stages.
