A museum quality ring for the small of your hand!

This exceptional scarab ring is one of the most stunning pieces we’ve had! The setting of this ring is Victorian, but the scarab itself dates back circa 1500-1200 BCE, making it a fantastic relic of the New Kingdom Period.

The New Kingdom period spanned the 18th to 20th Egyptian dynasties, and was the height of Egyptian influence in the Mediterranean.

A prized artifact from the height of Victorian Egyptomania, the scarab on this ring was likely unearthed from a tomb in the 19th century, and set in a high carat setting to mimic an original ancient style.  

The construction is certainly exquisite, with this vibrant 20 carat gold gallery serving as the perfect canvas for the star of the show: this rare, vibrant green scarab gem- it is, in fact Beryl— the mineral that we often classify as emerald when sufficiently green. As this example features a lighter green, and the original matrix of the stone, we consider it an excellent beryl specimen. Whether worn as a ring or a pendant, this extraordinary piece is a true treasure for any discerning collector!
