A showstopping adornment, unlike any other!

One of the rarest of our scarabs, this striking blue Amazonite piece stands apart from her peers; not only for her positively vibrant cerulean color, but for her size and  the unique inscription on the reverse of the ring.

Unlike the other scarabs in this collection, which lack hieroglyphics, this one bears a carved inscription with clear Greek influence – perhaps in the shape of an anchor? – suggesting an overture to sea fairing. The lotus flowers adorned along the shoulders also provide a whimsical touch!

Clearly a beloved adornment since its construction in the 19th century, this late Victorian Egyptian Revival Scarab is a wonderful addition to any antique jewelry collection!

Please view and inspect any photos closely. We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry.
