Art Deco Egyptian Revival 18K gold labradorite scarab ring
Celebrate the mystique of ancient Egypt with this exquisite Art Deco-era Egyptian Revival ring, crafted in 18K yellow gold. At the center lies a finely carved labradorite cameo scarab, radiating a mesmerizing neon blue sheen that dances in sunlight—imbuing the piece with a sense of magic and mystery. Next to the scarab are two transitional cut diamonds, one on each side, adding a refined sparkle to the ring’s architectural look.
The craftsmanship beautifully reflects the Egyptian Revival aesthetic that flourished during the Art Deco period, blending bold symbolism with refined geometry. The use of labradorite—a gemstone prized for its optical play of color—makes this scarab feel alive with energy and ancient meaning.
In ancient Egyptian culture, the scarab beetle symbolized rebirth, protection, and transformation. Seen as a representation of the sun god Ra, who was believed to roll the sun across the sky each day, scarabs were used in amulets, jewelry, and funerary art to ensure safe passage into the afterlife.
The Egyptian Revival movement gained momentum after the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, sparking global fascination with Egypt’s rich history. During the Art Deco era, jewelers incorporated ancient motifs—like lotus flowers, pharaohs, and scarabs—into modern designs, marrying mythical themes with the sleek lines and symmetry of Deco style.
A stunning fusion of history, symbolism, and design, this ring is a true collector’s piece and a must-have for antique jewelry lovers drawn to the allure of ancient worlds and timeless craftsmanship.
