The Agate in this ring is truly beautiful. It is a warm orange-amber with a random pattern of dark dots. It really glows against the silver back, especially when the light shines on it. I wanted to give this one a special setting, so I extended the setting alongside the stone. I melted silver filings on the top for texture and for a bit of glitter in the light, and added random silver balls to mimic the pattern in the stone. The band is also textured with melted silver filings and has rounded edges for comfort.
SIZE: This ring is US size 8 1/4. The band is about 3/16 inches wide and between 1 and 2mm thick. The top (stone and setting) measures about 15/16 inch by just under 5/8 inches. This ring cannot be resized.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver, Fine silver, Agate
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Agate is said to strengthen the body and mind as well as promote courage. and is supposed to facilitate the ability to discern truth.
