Multi-Color Agate Bead Necklace in Red, Blue and Green, 16.5 Inches

This agate necklace is 16.5 inches long and strung with round, polished beads in two sizes, smaller toward the clasp and larger across the front. The colors run in a bold pattern of red, deep blue and green, with a few mottled pink and green beads toward the back, and a silver-tone hook clasp closes the strand.

Agate is a banded form of chalcedony, and the color pattern makes each strand a little different. At this length it sits near the collarbone, and as the model photo shows, the bright beads stand out against a plain black or white top. Beaded stone necklaces are a familiar sight in Thai night markets and jewelry stalls. Keep it in a pouch so the beads do not scratch each other.
