Art Nouveau Dendritic Picture Agate Moss Agate 14k Gold Ring by Ostby & Barton

This lovely agate ring is simply set in a beautiful bezel with another edge of gold rope work framing it. It is not a delicate ring, but made with substantial heft with another frame of gold in the under gallery that sits snug to your finger. The band shows minimal wear.

The agate is a clear color with a dark brown silhouette that looks almost bat like.
