Charmed by Shells

Charmed by Shells Necklace - this simple Red Agate shell shaped semi-precious stone hangs as a simple solitary pendant on a 14k gold plated chain. Simple yet stylish! Notice the subtle wave-like layering effect on the shell, how pretty and unique!

I took a real liking to these lovely semi-precious Red Agate shells. Aren't they simply beautiful? They have such a lovely texture, no two are the same (thank you Mother Nature!) and its so interesting how you can actually see the different layers and colours caused by the different areas in which these semi-precious stones are mined. Apparently those ones with visible "layering" are formed under sea/water, and the pressure over time has resulted in the beautiful layers of different colours in the stones. I only wish the pictures did them more justice!
