Vintage Multi-Gemstone Scarab Link Necklace

This is a vintage multi-colored gemstone scarab necklace, a popular style prominently manufactured during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s) reflecting the Egyptian Revival aesthetic. The necklace features approximately 15 carved oval gemstone cabochons, each depicting a stylized scarab beetle on the face. The gemstones appear to include a variety of semi-precious quartz and silicates such as amethyst (purple), tiger's eye (brown banded), rose quartz (pink), chalcedony (milky white/blue), green aventurine or chrysoprase (green), and unakite or carnelian variant. Each stone is secured in a classic gold-toned wire-wrap or four-prong 'cage' setting, characteristic of the jewelry produced by makers like Burt Cassell or W.E. Richards (12k Gold Filled/GF). The links are connected by small jump rings, leading to a fold-over box clasp with a safety tab. The overall condition appears fair to good; there is visible surface wear and slight verdigris-style patina on the metal finish, suggesting possible gold-filling or plating rather than solid high-karat gold. The stones show some light internal inclusions consistent with natural material, though most remain intact with no obvious major fractures visible from this angle. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mid-century costume or bridge jewelry, popular as souvenir items or classic fashion accessories.
