"Achetes"  Natural Agate Necklace

Silver Wire Collection.  Product Code: SWCN4A

__________________________________

Greek legend states that agate was found in the river Achates, which is in Sicily - hence the name for this natural agate with oxidised silver faceted teardrop pendant.  The river's name has since changed and is called Drillo. It is still a major source of Agate. 

The natural colour of this stunningly faceted stone is set against a purposely oxidised silver wrap; with the same process being carried out on the silver chain.  A ring is handmade and soldered, then threaded through the wire wrap to ensure that the necklace hangs and moves with you, rather than being static on the chain.  A stunning semi-precious gemstone with clear beauty only overshadowed by that of the wearer!
