A large and striking carnelian agate set in a classic 9k yellow gold barley twist setting c1900-10. It measures 2 5/8" x 2", and has a safety catch, which appears to be original. The gold setting is heavy and well made, and all of the claws and rope work are in perfect shape. The stone is a really attractive carnelian agate, 1/4" thick. It has a bevelled edge and is highly polished. It is in excellent and original condition, but I must note that the stone (which was clearly picked for its unusual appearance) has a tiny naturally occuring gap near the edge (about the size of a pin top) and there is a fissure in the stone - again naturally occuring and not detrimental - which looks like a crack. It doesn't go through the stone at all points and will not affect the integrity of the piece, but we like to mention all details, and it is visible in the picture. Surface shipping starts at $6 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
