Chinese Bangle

A smooth olive-brown bangle with a milky glow and a soft pillow profile.

This agate bangle is from China, and is contemporary. Agate is a banded form of chalcedony, a type of quartz, and its layers form as silica is deposited inside cavities in rock. A broad, rounded bangle in muted tan and olive with a faintly cloudy, translucent body. A darker spot sits near one side of the outer face, and a gentle sheen covers the whole surface.

A calm, tea-colored ring with nothing to prove.
