Attractive & Applicable

This is a very interesting bracelet, a Dark Brown Agate accented with round black beads. Agate is a mineral gemstone in the Quartz group and one of the varieties of Chalcedony. Chalcedony a very hard dense stone. When this gemstone is found in it's beautiful blue state, it is called Chalcedony, and when it is banded (often in wild patterns) it is called an agate.

Some agates which lack strong colors and banding, are dyed and heated treated to enhance their colors as in the case of this gem. Overall a very good quality gemstone bracelet which is usable with other pieces of your Sterling Silver Jewelry collection.

When we consider the physical characteristics of agate, it is a very good gemstone to be used in making jewelry. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is usable in all jewelry making applications and it can be used in jewelry pieces with modest care and little worry about damage. The most common danger to Agates are scratches, sharp blows and a gradual dulling of their glassy finish due to contact with harder substances. Please refer to the "Helpful Hints" information box on the right side of this page for more options.

These particular agates are natural gemstones which have been dyed to improve their color and heat treated to stabilize the color change. The have also been enhanced with a black " Dizzy Eye" pattern which can be seen in the pictures. They are very appealing gemstones!

These natural gemstones with their black accent glass beads and the silver plated bead caps are a good value for your invested money . And, formed into a very attractive bracelet with a dark brown chord which also serves and an adjustable closure you have a quality product at a reasonable price.
