1860s French Agate Ring Brooch

This exquisite brooch, originating from 1860s France, is crafted from brass and agate. The brooch features a circular structure composed of geometric shapes, meticulously polished to achieve a rounded form and a smooth, lustrous surface. The natural striations and color variations of the agate itself create a rich tapestry of patterns within its minimalist silhouette. The semi-translucent quality of some agate elements lends a sense of depth and lightness to the structure, contributing to an overall look that is both simple and modern. The agate design is meticulously hand-joined to the brass setting with exceptional precision. The central geometric element can be rotated to adjust its position, showcasing artisanal craftsmanship and thoughtful design within its contemporary aesthetic. This piece is in good antique condition, exhibiting normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age. The central agate ring has some minor scratches, and the adhesive shows oxidation and discoloration, reflecting its status as a century-old antique, not a new item.
