This antique ring features a beautifully carved lapis lazuli scarab beetle, mounted in 18K gold with delicate trifurcated shoulders. Created in France during the 1920s Egyptomania period, its design reflects the fascination with Ancient Egyptian symbolism following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
The French eagle head hallmark confirms its 18K gold composition, and a maker's mark is present. The scarab measures 13 x 9 x 6 mm and the ring weighs 6.4 grams. The ring is a UK size K (US size 5.25).
In Ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle symbolised immortality, resurrection, and protection, and scarab jewellery was commonly employed in funerary contexts. This design draws inspiration from scarabs found in museum collections dating to the Late Period of the Pharaonic Empire (664–332 BC). Such artefacts, often carved from gemstones like lapis lazuli, were highly prized by collectors in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
This elegant piece, steeped in history, is a testament to the enduring allure of Ancient Egypt. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Egyptomania.
