Classic Rococo dentritic agate and garnet ring c.1770.
The ‘landscape’ agate is slightly domed with the most delicate ‘tree of life’ dentritic inclusion bordered with a halo of flat-cut garnets. 
Trifurcated sinuous shank. 
15ct gold and silver.
The reverse has a superb sunflower design rather than the more common reeded ‘basket- back’.
Size 7
Bezel 1.5 by 1.3 cms.
Picture agates as they were called perfectly captured the Georgian fascination with the natural world, romanticism, and the sublime.
