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. 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 details of this ring are :

Country of origin: Egypt

In our opinion, this object is a product of the third Neo-Egyptian revival. That style has known three revivals since 1800. The first was caused by Napoleon's journey to Egypt (circa 1805-1810). 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).
