Here are some more information for Motif Amulet Necklace:
Scarabs were worn as jewelry and amulets in ancient Egypt. Being a common form like a charm, everyone could afford them and easily wear strung on a cord and worn like a necklace. They were already known in the Old Kingdom, and in the First Intermediate Period, the undersides were decorated with hieroglyphs. Many heart scarabs bear a spell on the flat side. Scarabs are the most numerous amulets and were produced well beyond the dynastic periods. They were used and worn by both the rich and the poor. They were made in a wide variety of materials, such as carnelian, lapis lazuli, basalt, limestone, malachite, schist, serpentine, turquoise, colored glass, ivory, resin, steatite, bronze and alabaster. Pottery scarabs were also produced in terra-cotta molds, carved when dry and different colored glazes applied. The so-called "heart scarabs" were large, with an average length of 7 inches.
Ancient Egyptian scarabs are popular with collectors because of their bright colors and intricate patterns. Many are characterized by large scale motifs accompanied by hieroglyphs. Most scarabs were made for the living. By the Middle Kingdom, they were being worn on the finger mounted as a ring, or threaded with a cord for the finger. Although they are known from the earliest periods, it is in the 12th dynasty that their use as seals became common. They were also used as seals by officials. Interestingly, some scarabs with royal names were worn after the king was deceased, in the saintly sense, similar to the holy medals of Christian saints.
The Egyptian scarab is one of the most powerful symbols in Egyptian theology. Excavations of ancient Egyptian archaeological sites have uncovered images of the scarab, dating from the Sixth Dynasty and up to the period of Roman rule. The scarab beetle had enormous significance in Egyptian mythology. They were an important part of ancient Egyptian life, scarab beetles were considered magical and lucky. Ancient Egyptians were fascinated by a dung beetle, a type of scarab beetle. The influence of the ancient Egyptian scarab beetles in Egyptian mythology was obvious. Scarabs are inspired by the real-life scarab beetles, who play an important role in ancient Egyptian mythology.
The Egyptian dung beetle (Scarabeus sacer) is one of the most recurrent symbols throughout Egyptian artwork and hieroglyphics and had enormous significance in Egyptian mythology. The beetle lays its eggs in a small ball of dung, often several times its own weight and size. It was this behavior that led the ancient Egyptians to believe that the dung beetle was an earthly representation of the Egyptian god Khepri, who pushed the morning sun out of the darkness, into our world, and across the sky. The ancient Egyptian word Khepri translates to "coming into being" or "who brings into being. Khepri, symbolized by the Egyptian scarab beetle, is the embodiment of the fifth element, Sa, the quintessence and symbol of never-ending regeneration and renewal. This power of regeneration becomes even more important as an Egyptian prepares to pass from this life into the next. Before an Egyptian was granted a place in the afterlife, he or she must pass a rigorous test called the Weighing of the Heart. The Egyptian was asked to name each of the 42 deities and swear against committing any offenses against each of them. In the Egyptian's life, this was probably the most important role of the carvings of scarab beetles especially the heart scarab.

Hamsa Hand !!!
The Hamsa hand is a symbol used in amulets, charms, jewelry, door entrances, cars, and
other places. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to
Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron as well as the Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient
talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of
providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God". It appears, often in stylised form, as a
Hamsa hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged
symmetrically.
Hamsa hands are popular as Hamsa jewelry and decorations in Israel . Among Jews, fish
are considered to be immune to the evil eye, so their images are often found on Hamsa
hands. Hamsas are often made in the form of amulets, wall plaques, keychains, or motifs on
other objects, and often feature doves. They are also frequently inscribed with Hebrew
prayers depending on their use, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the
Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer).
In the past few years, some Israeli artists started to combine The Hamsa hand symbol to
their work. Some other made a new complete line of Hamsa hands, for decoration or for
daily use, like Hamsa key chain or Hamsa jewelry – Ester Shahaf, Yair Emanuel, Michal
David, Anat Mayer and more.
In the recent years, the interest in Hamsa symbols is growin, from several reasons –
the growing interest in Kabbalah and Jewish Jewelry.
The growing attention to mystical symbols, one of them is the Hamsa hand.
Hamsa jewelry are popular in Israel and worldwide, and considered to be a symbol of good luck.
Many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are also incorporated in wall plaques,
mobiles, keychains, necklaces and Jewish jewelry.
