Antique 18K, Silver & Carved Topaz Scarab Ring

Scarab jewelry was popular throughout the 19th century, and enjoyed a resurgence early in the 20th century, when the Egyptian Revival was, itself, revived after the opening of the tomb of Tutanhkamun in 1922. Egyptian themes, like the scarab, quickly became a staple of the Art Deco period. Fittingly, the scarab represents rebirth.  This unusual scarab ring has an 18 karat yellow gold setting and coils that grip the shoulders of the silver shank. A gorgeous carved white topaz scarab is seated atop, giving a gloriously regal feel of importance to anyone who loves Egyptian Revival pieces!
