Dark Radiance : Banded Agate and Black Enamel Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

♥Sold♥

A banded agate cabochon “bullseye” surrounded by golden rays in a field of black enamel. This striking and heavy 18ct gold ring was originally a gentleman’s stick pin, and was expertly converted into a handmade ring. The original piece was likely intended as a mourning jewel and dates to the Victorian Era, circa 1860.

We couldn’t apply any heat or solder to the original little masterpiece, so my jeweller built a custom bezel and band for the antique pin head to fit inside. She did an absolutely incredible job, there is no way to tell that this is a conversion ring, the result is seamless. The new gold ring has been constructed in sympathy with the antique section, there are even little petal shapes on each shoulder echoing the black enamel design.

Manufacture: 
Handmade in solid 18ct yellow gold with a banded agate cabochon and black enamel detailing to the head of the ring. The ring is a marriage of old and new – an old Victorian stick pin in a brand new custom built ring setting. The ring is hallmarked 750 to the inside of the band for 18ct gold, and the antique section has been verified as 18ct by XRF test.
