I recently bought a scarab bracelet at an antique shop and i've been curious about the carvings. the top rounded portion has the image of a scarab beetle on it, but the flat bottom side has various symbols carved into it and i was wondering if anyone could help me decipher the symbols.
one symbol looks like a starburst, another like an hourglass, another is a zig zag line, and there are two more but i can't describe them well. one is sort of like a weird x thing and another is almost like the symbol for pi but not curved and one of the prongs extends up past the horizontal line. the scarabs are all different stones set in gold clasps.

they may be simplified versions of these Egyptian symbols:
