LITWIN’S ADVENT CALENDAR: The ancient Egyptians carved Scarabs for good luck in the afterlife. This Labradorite scarab was carved by a master carver from Idar Oberstein, Germany. Labradorite is a feldspar that flashes brilliant blues in the light, and not only does it promise good luck, but it shows great taste!  We set this one in a custom Diane Mazza 14 karat yellow gold pendant, with .22 carats of diamond on the hinged bale. This stunning piece is displayed on a velvet choker.
