Lone Branch Honey Yemeni Agate Ring

The stone is a clear honey-coloured Yemeni agate, natural and untreated, a translucent oval cabochon that holds the light like warm syrup. A single dark brown dendritic branch rises through the centre and forks near the top, the only mark on an otherwise clean stone.

The bezel is smooth and bordered with a beaded wire. The shoulders are worked with grape clusters built from raised granules and broad vine leaves carved in relief, a vineyard motif on each side of the shank.

One branch in the stone, a vine on the silver.
