Typical Egyptian scarab ring with cartouched scarab set in gold swivel ring

Typical Egyptian scarab ring with cartouched scarab set in gold swivel ring.

This is a so called scarab ring. Based upon a type of finger ring made in ancient Egypt, and in Phoenicia, Greece, and Etruria, with an ornament in the form of a scarab. The ring is a stirrup-shaped hoop with flattened pierced ends and the scarab attached in such way so that the scarab can revolve when not worn on a finger, with the underside (engraved with the name or device of the owner) turned up when to be used as a seal and the beetle side up when worn as an ornament.

The second revival was caused by the opening of the Suez Canal (circa 1870) and the third was initiated by the discovery of King Tut-Ankh-Amun’s tomb (circa 1922).
