An Egyptian scarab is depicted in polished yellow gold with ruby eyes in this lavish vintage ring.

In ancient Egypt, “the scarab became a symbol of birth, life, death, and resurrection. Since the sun was believed to die each night and be reborn each morning as a beetle, the scarab took on significant regenerative powers.” 8/20/21 thecollector.com

Mounted gemstones cannot be measured exactly, therefore carat weight is considered approximate unless accompanied by certification from an independent lab, such as SGL or GIA. Colored gemstones and pearls are often enhanced, unless documentation says otherwise.
