Earrings with actual character. These crazy lace agate teardrops show deep burgundy swirls, warm terracotta bands, and cream veining that looks like topographic maps. Each stone is completely different because that's how this material forms.
Product Specifications:
Crazy lace agate forms in bands and swirls from mineral deposits over millions of years. These particular stones have rich burgundy and rust tones mixed with cream - warmer than most agates you'll see. The hand-fabricated bezels are filed smooth so there's nothing to snag. Sterling silver throughout means no irritation if you have sensitive ears.
At 40mm, they're noticeable without being statement pieces. The kind you put on and forget about until someone asks where you got them. Sterling silver means you can wear them daily - no babying required. The colors work especially well if you gravitate toward warm metals and earth tones.
This variety of agate gets its name from the intricate banding patterns that look like lace. It's found primarily in Mexico and has been used in jewelry and ornamental objects for thousands of years. The warm color palette in these stones is less common than the typical gray and white versions.
Sterling silver, regular wear. Polish with a soft cloth if needed. The agate is durable (7 on Mohs scale) and won't scratch from normal use.
