A magnificent Favrile glass scarab ring set in chunky, heavy, and buttery 14K yellow gold, engraved with wondrous figural and floral motifs. These favrile beetles were produced under Louis Comfort Tiffany of the luxury design house Tiffany & Co. Favrile, an iridescent opaque glass patented by Tiffany, was inspired by the luster of corroded glassware unearthed from Roman ruins. 10.73dwt, size 7.5. Scarab is chipped around eye/nose area. Complimentary ring sizing included.
A Tiffany & Co. favrile scarab necklace was recently used as part of a costume in the new Frankenstein adaptation by Guillermo del Toro (2025). After the house put out official posts and stunning editorial imagery of this antique Etruscan revival necklace, fans were excitedly under the impression that Tiffany was bringing these iconic glass scarabs back into production, only to find out there are zero plans for that. All of that said, I’m excited to offer you this stunning ring during a time when jewelry lovers all over are swooning over the Tiffany scarab. As Tiffany & Co. describes its necklace featured in del Toro’s film, “… the scarab necklace showcases the House's pioneering use of iridescent Favrile glass in the 20th century, which perfectly captures the shimmering beauty of these natural forms. Set in 18k gold, each pressed glass beetle glows with light, evoking the delicate yet striking form of the insect, blurring the line between nature and art.”
