Antique Victorian Banded Agate Necklace
Description
This striking Victorian pendant features a beautifully polished banded agate, showcasing natural layers of warm brown, caramel, and soft grey tones formed over millions of years. Each band is entirely unique, giving the piece depth, movement, and an unmistakable organic character that Victorian jewellers greatly admired.
Cut in a softly elongated oval form, the agate is suspended from a gold fitting that complements the stone without overpowering it. During the Victorian era, banded agate was widely worn for both its beauty and symbolism. It was believed to offer grounding, protection, and emotional balance, often chosen as a talismanic stone to be worn close to the body.
Elegant yet understated, this pendant reflects the Victorian fascination with natural materials and geological beauty. It wears beautifully on its own or layered with finer gold chains, adding warmth and texture to both antique and modern jewellery collections.
