Moss Agates have such amazing depth and patterns. This little one is no exception. The "moss" inside is a soft reddish brown - in some lights it has more of a green look. The agate itself is clear with a soft golden glow that accentuates the moss. I created my own moss on the setting, including a few small silver balls. The silver has been antiqued and then polished. The band is gently hammered sterling silver; the edges have been rounded and smoothed for a comfortable fit.
SIZE: This ring is a US size 7 1/2. The agate measures about 12x15mm. The entire top of the ring measures 23x16mm (just under 1 inch by just over 1/2 inch) . The band measures 5.25mm (just under 1/4 inch) and is about 1mm thick.
