Red Agate 14mm Bracelet – AC-096

This bracelet is strung by hand from 14mm agate beads chosen for consistent size and even tone, so the strand reads as a continuous run of colour rather than a patchwork of shades.

The tone here runs banded, in greys, whites, browns and blues. A variety of chalcedony, agate forms in concentric layers inside volcanic cavities. Cut across, those layers appear as bands — and no two are alike.

Beads are polished individually, then checked for size and finish before stringing. Slight differences in tone, translucency and internal texture are normal in natural stone and are part of what distinguishes it from synthetic material.

Agate was among the most widely used stones of the ancient world for seals, beads and cameos. The name comes from the Achates river in Sicily.

In traditional lore agate stands for the particular rather than the general — a stone whose meaning comes from its own pattern. Most people choose a strand for the drawing of the bands, which never repeats from bead to bead.

Wear it on its own or stacked against contrasting strands — it sits well beside both lighter and darker tones. It is light enough for all-day wear.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear and store away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the colour. Avoid contact with perfumes, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.

The cultural associations described above come from traditional lore, folk custom and personal sentiment. This is a natural mineral piece sold as jewellery, and nothing here is intended as a medical or therapeutic claim.
