Serket Ring

A gold vermeil ring cast from the remains of a scorpion (Euscorpius flavicaudis) found in my mother’s home in the mountains of Provence. 

Inspired by religious reliquaries, Victorian-era mourning jewelry and ornate antique burial chambers.

Named after the Egyptian goddess of poisonous creatures, a protector of souls, thought to be able to return breath to the dead.

Each ring is made to order and, as such, is unique. The scorpion is set with a dark red garnet and a light pink sapphire.
