Vintage Yellow-Tone Multi-Gemstone Egyptian Revival Scarab Link Bracelet - An Egyptian Revival-style link bracelet featuring six oval-form carved stones in assorted colors including deep blue, orange-red, green, light blue, black, and pale pink. Each stone is carved with a scarab beetle design on the face and incised with stylized Egyptian-style characters on the reverse. The stones are secured in bezel settings connected by short bar links. The bracelet secures with a box clasp featuring a fold-over safety latch and an integrated safety chain. A small, stamped mark is present on the tongue of the box clasp, but the characters are not legible as a name or hallmark. The metal shows visible wear to the yellow finish, revealing a darker base metal underneath. Length: 7.5 inches. The bracelet is in good vintage condition. There is noticeable wear and thinning to the yellow metal finish, particularly on the reverse side of the settings and at the joints of the links (photo 3). Small amounts of green verdigris are visible near some of the stone settings on the reverse (photo 3). The carved stones appear intact without significant chips or cracks visible in the photographs (photo 1, 3). The box clasp, safety latch, and safety chain appear functional and intact (photo 2).
