Poor Mouchette

* * SOLD * *

A soulful, Victorian-era locket ring, made in 14k yellow gold, whose hinged face is set with a fine, buff-polished slab of dendritic agate. This bezel-set agate is slightly translucent, with earthy, fern-like, dendrite forms that float in its light field. The ring’s shoulders feature a deeply engraved diamond pattern; its weighty, half-round shank tapers from the shoulder toward the base. Rings from this era with locket faces are quite rare.
