AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a design ring featuring the ancient Egyptian scarab beetle.
Symbolic Meaning of the Scarab: The scarab beetle is one of the core symbols in ancient Egyptian culture, representing rebirth, protection, and the cycle of the sun. Ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab beetle's act of pushing a dung ball resembled the sun god's process of propelling the sun upward, thus using it as an amulet and seal for blessings and protection against evil.
Main Stone: A white agate carved into the shape of a scarab beetle, retaining its natural texture and cracks. The carving depicts the beetle's back patterns and facial contours, giving it a rustic feel.
Ring Setting: Made of S925 sterling silver with a gilt finish. The inner side of the ring features a 925 sterling silver mark with a rotating design, allowing the viewer to see both the front of the scarab beetle carving and the back of the natural stone.
Dimensions: Approximately 2.1cm high and 1.4cm wide. Fits EU size 55.
