a signifiant, symbolic beetle in a dynamic form: will you wear it as a ring or a pendant?
while it's in the style of an antique scarab spinner ring, this one likely dates to the 1970s/80s Egyptian revival era of jewelry as it has a maker's mark that seems much later than 1920s pieces
the scarab's story? is it unfinished, unglazed faience? is it carved wood? carved bone? it's definitely a bead and tightly set in its bezel setting
setting is solid sterling silver

size 8ish — the band is not a circular shape so the size is an approximation based on how it sits on a mandrel and how it fits on a size 7 finger
scarab's setting is ~20.25mm north to south on the finger and rises ~9.5mm off the finger
base of the band is ~2.75mm wide
weighs 5.3g

in good vintage condition
the setting and band have heavy scratches, dents and dings
the beetle spins to sit flush with the band in either direction, but one direction is easier than the other, which hints that one of the posts might be a bit bent
this is a vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
