1860s French Double Ring Banded Agate Brooch

This exquisite brooch from 1860s France is crafted from brass and banded agate. Designed with a double-ring motif, the agate elements interlock, allowing the inner loop to swivel freely. The entire piece has been meticulously polished to a smooth finish with rounded edges. The natural striations and color variations within the banded agate create a visually rich tapestry. Its semi-translucent quality imbues the circular design with a sense of lightness and depth, celebrating nature's beauty through a simple yet captivating design. This is an antique item, showing signs of age-appropriate oxidation and wear. There may be residual adhesive on some oxidized sections on the front and back. The outer ring exhibits circular scratches, and there is a 1cm indentation on the lower right side. It is free of sharp edges, reflecting its status as a cherished antique, not a new item.
