Sterling Banded Agate Carnelian Pendant, Regional Artisan Silver

Sterling Banded Agate Carnelian Pendant, Regional Artisan Silver This striking sterling silver pendant features a substantial, polished banded agate cabochon, displaying earthy layers with warm reddish-orange tones reminiscent of carnelian. The robust sterling setting suggests an ethnic or regional artisan design (likely dating from the mid-20th century), possibly originating from areas known for their silversmithing traditions and use of large, natural stones, such as the Middle East, Central Asia, or India. This piece celebrates the natural beauty of the stone and embodies a timeless, handcrafted appeal. The pendant measures 1 3/4" long by 1 1/8" wide. The piece is unmarked but has been professionally tested to confirm sterling silver quality.
