The story of the design
A polished 10x8mm black agate cabochon creates a striking focal point, showcasing the stone's deep, opaque color and smooth, high-luster surface. Against the bright rhodium setting, the uninterrupted black center creates a dramatic contrast that immediately defines the design.
Mixed-cut white zircons form an elaborate asymmetrical halo around the agate, combining crisp brilliance with sweeping, curved details that give the setting a sense of movement. The varied shapes and open metalwork keep the surrounding design intricate without taking attention away from the center stone.
The result is a sophisticated black-and-white statement with a distinctly sculptural character—bold enough to stand out on the hand while remaining polished and versatile.
