1970s 9KT gold banded agate pendant, hallmarked London 1975, a large kite shaped slice of agate held in a frame of molten textured gold.
The agate is banded in cream, mustard yellow and blue black, with a natural open cavity at its centre. Gold branches reach across the cavity from the frame, and fine gold wires cross the back to hold the stone. The bale is textured to match.
Rough, organic gold and natural stone sections were the language of British studio jewellery in the late 1960s and 1970s, the period of Andrew Grima and Alan Gard.
