Sacred Scarab Bolo
This Sacred Scarab Bolo is handmade by Rosita Bonita.
Worshipped in ancient Egypt as the ‘God of Dawn’, the scarab beetle is still a widely used & much loved charm that symbolizes the act of renewal. As a result, this necklace promises to bring good health & a long life to those who wear it.
Rosita Bonita’s winged scarab range is influenced by the original Egyptian designs & their art deco revivals, but is given a modern graphic edge with the use of foil-embossed leather shapes.
This piece is made from foil-embossed, frosted metallic jade leather & has golden studded eyes. It is mounted onto a gold-plated slider & a braided black leather bolo cord. It is finished
with shiny, golden graduated tips.
This versatile unisex piece can be worn as a string tie or as a necklace.
The bolo is 3.5cm x 3cm x 0.4cm.
The bolo cord is 100cm x 0.4cm.

At the very edge of the Enchanted forest, in faraway lands, you’ll find an old Gyspy Caravan. Its sides are covered in illustrious etchings, whilst blood-red roses frame the stable door.
Inside the glamorous interior, reminiscent of a bygone Golden Era, is lit only by candlelight. In the middle of the room & at a circular table sits a mysterious painted lady, the Circus’ Fortune Teller.
Rosita Bonita is a purveyor of finery & fancy. She is draped in gold coin necklaces, her own talismans & wherever she goes she is always accompanied by two delicate hummingbirds that hover restlessly above her head.
Her only visitors are drawn into her caravan by a Siren’ s call.
They sit for hours listening to her tales & stare in amazement as she manages to reveal their darkest secrets or wildest dreams.
Little do they know that she is also hiding a little secret of her own – lift the black lace tablecloth & you’ll discover a large shimmering, luminescent mermaids tail!
