A round laguna lace agate features mesmerizing patterns in deep red and coral with bubbles of cream. Across one side of the stone a translucent band of smoky quartz is a mysterious window into the depths of the stone. Hammered silver surrounds and holds the agate on its silver base. The band is a thin but sturdy shank of sterling silver. I oxidized the silver to create a beautiful contrast between the metal and the stone.
