Across the upper portion of the cabochon, bands of white and light earthy brown create a layered pattern before gradually transitioning into deep black toward the bottom. A clean straight bezel frames the stone without distracting from its natural contrast and distinctive banding.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt entirely at the bench in our Adirondack studio, this pendant keeps the silverwork restrained, allowing the unusual pattern within the agate to define the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eForm \u0026amp; Proportion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 1.5 inches in length, the pendant has enough presence to showcase the changing colors within the stone while maintaining a versatile scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest visual element is the transition within the agate itself—from lighter white and brown striations across the upper half into the nearly solid black lower portion.
