The cabochon carries a striking natural progression of color, beginning with pronounced white striations that transition through warm brown tones before deepening into black. A scalloped bezel follows the elongated form of the stone, while six individual sterling silver bands create a substantial wide shank beneath the setting.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt entirely at the bench in our Adirondack studio, this ring combines the natural pattern of agate with the weight, structure, and visible construction of traditional silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eForm \u0026amp; Proportion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated agate creates a strong presence across the hand, with its changing bands of white, brown, and black providing the primary visual detail.
