A quirky and unusual ring from the Victorian period. The ring is made from solid 18ct gold and has a wonderful carved carnelian as the centrepiece. The carnelian has been carved into a scarab with lovely detail throughout. The underside depicts a man sitting; it is difficult to decipher the exact representation.
