This Victorian 18ct Gold Scarab beetle Etruscan revival ring is a beauty to behold! An original Victorian ring, this piece is perfect for those antique collectors who adore all things unique, rare and steeped in history.

Pieces like this were highly sought after, and even today make for great collectors' items.

VERY GOOD. This Victorian 18ct Gold Scarab beetle Etruscan revival ring is in very good condition overall. First and foremost, the scarab beetle has remained entirely intact over all of these years! There is no damage to note and it still carries a stunning green iridescence. The beetle is does have an ever so slight wobble, but rest assured she is secure. This is due to one of the claws having worn down over the years, but she is still safe! The Enamel work is truly beautiful and all in tact and crisp. The ring band has very little wear to note, making this a truly splendid piece for your antique jewellery collection!
