Agate Gandhara Necklace

GANDHARA NECKLACE — AGATE

Agate is a banded chalcedony. The color comes from iron oxide shifting across the formation layers as the stone grows, which is why these run from pale peach through burnt orange to deep rust. No two stones read the same. India, Brazil, the American West.

The light gold and burnt orange triangular beadwork frames at the top descend through the same geometry as the Gandhara line, triangles opening into fans, picking back up again, before handing off to two tiers of irregular agate teardrop stones at the drop.

It falls clean down the front of a teal silk v-neck, a chocolate brown wool turtleneck, a cream linen blouse. Any neckline that gives a long pendant necklace room to do its job.
