An exquisite 18K yellow gold ring featuring a large, commanding scarab beetle with generous finger coverage. The ring shoulders are adorned with two ankhs that cradle the scarab, symbolizing life, eternal life, and the breath of life.
The Ankh represents both earthly existence and the afterlife. It serves as a protective talisman, embodying fertility, balance, and the sun.
The Scarab was one of ancient Egypt's most powerful amulets, sacred to Khepri, the god of the rising sun. It symbolized existence, growth, transformation, and protection and promised rebirth and regeneration in the afterlife. First appearing around 2124 B.C., the scarab became an enduring symbol of divine protection and renewal.
A captivating piece for collectors of ancient Egyptian history, mythology, and symbolism.
