Original idea:
Per pale argent and azure, within an orle of chain counterchanged a scarab Or. Illegal because unadorned loop of chain reserved to knights.
Other ideas:
Per pale argent and azure, a scarab Or. Conflicts with (Fieldless) A scarab Or, marked sable.
Per pale Or and azure, a scarab argent. Conflicts with Per pale sable and azure, a cockroach argent.
Per pale argent and azure, three fleur-de-lys counterchanged (or counterchanged azure and Or) surrounding a scarab Or. Looks clear.
Ditto, three sets of three annulets interlaced counterchanged surrounding a scarab Or. Looks clear.
