A fascinating and unusual ring in solid 18 carat gold, set with a genuine natural scarab beetle! A conversion from a Victorian button, it’s wonderful quality thoughout and really highlights the naturalistic feel of the lines and curves of the insect. It’s a superb example of the Egyptian revival of the late 19th century as many tombs were uncovered at this time, causing a knock-on effect in the fashions of the time. It has a lovely quality, solid 18 carat gold ribbed band with split shoulders and is a size 6.5, resizeable a little if needed. It dates from around 1890, the conversion having been done recently and it’s in excellent, fully wearable condition throughout, with no loss or damage. It weighs 2.1 grams and measures 17 x 13 mm across the head. What’s more, I offer layaway deals so there’s no need to let any of my listings slip through your fingers – just ask!
