Jewelry always gets a fun, free-spirited upgrade in the summertime. Just think: when else can you rock turquoise earrings, fringe necklaces, and body chains? We consider scarabs to be an integral part of this boho-luxe category. But, don't think for a second that the beetle-like bugs made their debut at Coachella.

The motif has been popular since ancient Egyptian times, when it appeared on amulets and other types of design. True, scarab-inspired baubles can come with a hefty price tag. But just think of it this way: the motif hasn't gone out of style since Cleopatra times, and its allure shows no signs of stopping now.
