Victorian 15K Yellow Gold Banded Agate Dangle Earrings

Victorian 15K yellow gold banded agate earrings. A round banded agate cabochon, ringed in a crisp band of white, sits within a simple gold bezel at the top of each of these Victorian earrings, with a long, tapering agate drop hanging below it in 15k yellow gold. The drops are finely polished in deep, glossy black with a single bold white stripe that circles the stone like a ribbon. A small gold cap with delicate fluting joins each drop to its upper stone. Banded agate was a favorite of Victorian jewelers, who prized the natural contrast of its black and white layers, and these long, slender drops give the pair an elegant, elongated line.
