Nephrite & Gold Mounted Ebony Walking Stick

A fine Ebony walking stick with an Nephrite gemstone mounted upon a cylindrical Gold-plated Sterling Silver grip. The base of the stick has been strengthened with cylindrical Gold Plated Sterling Silver and rubber as an anti-slip.  

Ebony is a dense black hardwood, derived from the Ancient Egyptian hbny. It is dense enough to sink in water and it is finely-textured and has a very smooth finish when polished, making it valuable as an ornamental wood. 

This piece took one month to complete, with five craftsmen and designers involved at various stages.
