In honor of the first day of the Ancient Egyptian New Year, we present a brand new offering from the world of Alex Streeter: introducing the Little Scarab Ring! This little ring is an all-new miniaturized version of Alex’s classic Scarab Ring. Originally carved in the 1970’s, the Scarab Ring was inspired by Alex's frequent visits to the Egyptian wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Ancient Egyptians considered the scarab to be a sacred creature; a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. Available in sterling silver and 10k gold, this little beetle makes the perfect companion to guide you into the year, inspiring renewed creativity and metamorphosis wherever it goes.
