Agate is traditionally believed to help you to discern truth, improve memory and concentration, increase stamina, prevent insomnia and ensure pleasant dreams, enhance personal courage, protect you against danger, and provide a calming influence.
I used this cabochon to create this custom piece:
The lovely Mel was a lucky one at Christmas time – her husband gave her a drusy agate and sterling silver ring.
He originally bought a ring from my shop, but when it arrived, he realised that he had misjudged the size.
I was happy to help by getting him to return it, and creating a custom made one instead! Louis chose the ring from my gemstone collection.
Mel creates gorgeous things for little people (and some for big!) in her shop Creative Wishes.
So cute!
After a visit to see my gemstone collection in person, Robbie chose this piece of petoskey stone and piece of drusy agate to be made into a cuff and ring set for his partner.
I love the way the stones are completely different materials, yet still complement each other beautifully!
I finished the ring with a high polish and the cuff with a brushed finish to add some interest and set the off beautifully. Thanks, Robbie!
Judy loves drusy, just like me, and she asked me if I could source a black drusy stone for her and create a ring.
Of course, I was happy to!
Now this ring is off to a new home in Switzerland. Thanks, Judy!
This matching mauve bluebell drusy agate and sterling silver ring and cuff are a 21st birthday gift from my lovely customer to her niece.
Meg chose these drusy cabochons after some deliberation.. she has quite an eye for fabulous combinations!
I hope they bring many years of joy. Thanks, Meg!
The lovely Charmaine, who I previously created this ring and this ring for, asked me to make her a ring from this divine orange sunset flavoured drusy agate cabochon.
The colours and textures of this stone are simply amazing!
I hope Charmaine loves it as much as her previous two rings.. it was a pleasure to create it for her! Thanks, Charmaine!
The lovely Leesa, who I created this ring for, recently chose this superb black drusy agate cabochon to be made into a ring.
Very stylish and understated, it looks gorgeous!
I dropped it off to Leesa today, and she was very pleased. Thanks, Leesa!
My lovely friend Kylie, from Raw Toys, arranged for her birthday present this year to be one of my drusy pieces! I feel very honoured.
Kylie thought my usual rings might be a bit too chunky for her because she has small hands, so asked would I be able to make her a ring a bit smaller than my usual style. Of course I was totally happy to oblige! I sourced her a special lovely small green piece of drusy.
Kylie is really happy with the way this ring turned out (she even blogged a little bit about that 🙂 ), and that makes me feel happy, too. I love being able to make one of a kind pieces for lovely people!
Thank you so much, Kylie! And for any lovers of beautiful wooden toys and puzzles, head over to Kylie’s MadeIt Shop or her Raw Toys blog and see her gorgeous work. It’s well worth a visit.
A lovely customer contacted me from Florida recently. She was about to purchase a pendant from The Silver Forge shop, and wanted to make sure she was getting the right one. I was happy to help!
Agate was apparently one of the stones in the breastplate of decision constructed at the God of Israel’s instruction for the priest to wear (Exodus 28:15 – the Holy Bible). It is felt that the agate in the breastplate was likely a sky blue variety.
My customer said of an agate pendant she already has “I wear the pendant to remind me of being grounded in my faith in my Lord and as a symbol of Him as my rock. It is my symbol of a shield guarding my heart.”
I offered some options which I felt might be right for her, and she decided to go with this lovely electric blue stone, which I custom made into this pendant. I was glad to be able to give my support in her quest for spiritual strength and peace!
