Alternate May Birthstone - Agate!
12 05 2008
While emeralds are the most usual May birthstone today, traditionally emeralds have shared the honor with agates. Agates are a family of fine-grained quartz stones that come in a wide and magnificent range of colors and patterns. In myth, agate is considered a powerful protection against illness, and against venomous animals such as snakes and scorpions. Fortunately, both for the ancients and jewelry lovers today, it is also a beautiful and versatile stone from which beautiful jewelry has been crafted for millenia. Protect your loved one from a boring jewelry collection with this fancy-cut blue agate and diamond yellow gold pendant. A three-centimeter-long blue agate is set into an elegant, unusual white gold setting, accented with three twinkling diamonds. Give her this gorgeous pendant today for just $125.
