Hartland - Antique Faience Scarab 17k Yellow Gold Ring Victorian
Sold Out
This 19th-century Egyptian Revival ring centers a faience scarab—an ancient emblem of rebirth and protection—set in richly detailed yellow gold. Its ornate wirework and bead clusters reflect the Victorian fascination with archaeological discoveries, blending the symbolic power of the scarab with goldwork influenced by Etruscan Revival techniques. The underside is inscribed with a symbolic motif, a quiet detail that connects the piece to the scarab’s ancient role as a charm of renewal and safe passage. A beautifully preserved example of early Egyptomania, it offers both historic charm and enduring significance
