Landscape Agate Georgian Ring

Classic Rococo dentritic agate and garnet ring c.1770.

The ‘landscape’ agate is slightly domed with the most delicate ‘tree of life’ dentritic inclusion bordered with a halo of flat-cut garnets.

Trifurcated sinuous shank.

15ct gold and silver.

The reverse has a superb sunflower design rather than the more common reeded ‘basket- back’.

Size 7

Bezel 1.5 by 1.3 cms.

Picture agates as they were called perfectly captured the Georgian fascination with the natural world, romanticism, and the sublime.
