The Kinthia collection

Agate Jewelry

Agate isn’t a color but a family, the chalcedonies laid down in successive layers, and each piece of agate jewelry shows one of its faces. Red agate runs warm and bold, black agate looks crisp under its facets, and moss agate lets you glimpse green filaments caught inside the stone. Agate is credited with stability and a taste for firm bearings, more than with brilliance.

The Kinthia notebook

A stone, a style,
your story.

A few pointers to find what feels like you.

A family more than a stone

Agate is a chalcedony, meaning a quartz whose crystals are so fine you can’t see them. It forms in layers, which often gives it parallel bands. Depending on what it contains, it turns red, black, gray, brown, or flecked with green inclusions: then it’s called moss agate. Its name is thought to come from the Achates, a river in Sicily.

Bearings and things that grow slowly

Agates are tied to the bearings we build for ourselves and to choices that hold together. Moss agate, with its tiny inner landscapes, evokes the plant world and the value hidden in ordinary things, in what grows without a sound. Indian agate, more mottled, speaks of a personal path, walked at your own pace.

Beads, cabochons, and facets

In jewelry, agate shows up as polished beads or faceted ovals in rings, in multi-strand necklaces where it sits alongside jasper, and in beaded bracelets. Black agates suit gold-tone settings and fine motifs, red ones the plainer silver-tone settings.

An agate for every temperament

It’s best to start with the color: red for drive, black for restraint, green for anyone who loves nature. Agates mix easily with one another and with other stones. As a gift, they suit people who prefer understated jewelry to stones that sparkle.
