I first saw some Scarab jewellery on a friend in the early 1990s and went to the shop in Observatory and bought some flowers, which I wore joyously. I remember enjoying talking to Janine and catching her energy.   I really liked the jewellery she created. [...]

Scarab has seen our family through so many special occasions – anniversaries, birthdays and more! I think what makes Scarab so very special is the personal touch and love that Janine brings to her jewelry.  Each piece of jewelry I have from Scarab has a [...]

Scarab jewellery holds a truly precious spot in my heart and our lives. I bought my first piece, a ring, in my student days. It must have been fairly shortly after Scarab started. The shop was in Observatory. Since then, all the jewellery we have [...]

Congratulations on your very special 30 year anniversary, Janine, and all of you at Scarab! I first saw and fell in love with all things Scarab years ago, whilst ambling down the passage of Cavendish Square one evening, after watching a movie with my husband. [...]

Our important celebrations have taken us to special places, where for those brief moments, life seems to slow down and one is able to re-live the journey, laugh at the challenges and give thanks for all the blessings. From our wedding, to special anniversaries, Scarab [...]

My first encounter with Scarab was in the little cottage in Observatory filled with treasures! I had seen Debbie Hutching’ silver Scarab pendant and fell in love - thank you, Janine! Still my favourite item, suspended from a chunky Belcher chain. So the story continues [...]

Some years back, while tidying up and decluttering, I took out a heap of unworn jewellery—sentimental, memory-evoking pieces lying listless in a box, and slowly tarnishing. I looked at each piece, remembering who had given it to me, for which occasion, and what it meant [...]

All the pieces on this chain were tenderly added by Janine for me about eight years ago.  I hardly wore it although I loved it, and gave it to my daughter as a Christmas Present who has worn it since then. The little signet ring with [...]

Tinkerbell on guard!

Scarab Jewellery had been a part of both of our lives, long before we met one another. And so when it came to choosing who we would trust to design our engagement and wedding rings, Janine was not only our first, but also our only, [...]

Married for 22 years and this was the ring I chose. Janine got it 100% right. I love it and it has become a part of me.
