The scarab beetle held deep significance for the ancient Egyptians, celebrated for its strength and its mysterious, cyclical life. Khepri, the god of the early morning sun with the head of a scarab, was believed to roll the sun across the sky each day, drawing inspiration from the beetles pushing dung balls through the sand. This connection to the sun symbolizes creation, life, and rebirth.
Our Sun Scarab amulet captures the power of this sacred symbol, mounted with hidden brackets on a robust wheat chain—an ancient design renowned for its strength, woven to mimic a stalk of wheat.
The scarab’s design is based on a cherished antique soapstone Egyptian revival bead, passed down through generations. The original bead is displayed here alongside our Sun Scarab Ring.
Please note that these rings run half a size larger. We recommend ordering half a size down from your usual ring size.

About
Ancient Egyptians revered the scarab beetle for its seemingly magical strength and mysterious life cycle. Khepri, an Egyptian god of the early morning with the head of a scarab, was believed to push the sun into the sky at the dawn of each day and down to the underworld at dusk, a myth likely inspired by observing scarab beetles pushing balls of dung across the sand.

Unusual, beautiful ring. Sits well on my finger and a joy to look at. Went down a half size, as advised, and fits perfectly. If you’re looking for something very different for yourself or a gift, highly recommend.
I looked at this ring for a few months before finally buying it in solid gold. I wanted a ring that I could wear daily that was not plain, not boring, but also not too dressy, so I wanted a bold gold ring without a stone. I had been in Egypt in the past year and loved the meaning of the scarab and knew I wanted this ring. I really like the texture of the knife edge band because it's not too thick yet substantial and comfortable. I also have the Stella ring in gold and I like that they have different bands. The studio was very helpful to make sure I got the right size (based on my ring sizes for different fingers and sizes I'd gotten in their other rings), which is the benefit of working with a small studio who can make the rings to fit perfectly, even if ordering online. Very happy with my new ring.
