Gold rings with agate

Jewelry with gemstones attracts attention like magnets. Thanks to the riot of colors of natural minerals and the variety of designs, gold rings with agate have remained among top sellers for decades.
Our jewelry brand TANGO offers pieces with agate set in 585 gold — lemon, red, or combined. At the same time, the quality of both the stones and the precious metals is confirmed by the relevant certificates.

What is agate and why it is valued in jewelry

Agate is a layered variety of quartz. Jewelers value this semi-precious stone for its pristine beauty, unique layered structure, wide color palette, durability, ability to be polished, and moderate cost.
Agate inclusions are arranged in the form of concentric or linear bands, resembling intricate patterns or real moss. And all colors — from white to black, shades of green, red, yellow, and violet, which can also alternate with each other — make it truly enchanting.
Thanks to its unique pattern, every agate ring is one of a kind and exclusive. Moreover, the stone lends itself well to any type of cut and can be polished to a mirror-like surface shine.
The stone is also endowed with sacred meaning. It is believed to grant its owner heroic health, a long life in harmony, and prosperity.

Varieties of agate in rings

In the production of gold rings, various types of agate are used, and the most popular are considered to be:

• dendritic or moss agates — semi-transparent, with inclusions resembling moss or branches;
• ruin or landscape agates — with inclusions that form the appearance of a mountain range or castle ruins;
• onyxes — agates additionally dyed black, alternating with white;
• sardonyxes — banded white-red/brown stones;
• blue lace agates — with elegant, airy patterns inside the mineral;
• frost agates — as if covered with frost or patterns that frost draws on glass;
• fire agates — with iridescent flashes due to a film of iron oxide;
• iridescent or rainbow agates — with bright переливи of all the colors of the rainbow on the stone’s cross-section;
• eye agates — reminiscent of the iris of an eye.

Agate rings: design and shapes of inserts

Agates are easy to work with, so rings can feature stones in a wide variety of shapes and cuts. 

They can be set in gold in the form of:

• cabochon — a traditional option with a rounded, smooth surface, ideal for minerals with distinctive patterns;
• faceted cut — processing the mineral to create flat facets;
• round — a classic shape suitable for agates of any size;
• oval — for those who want to visually elongate the finger phalanx;
• pear-shaped — used in boho and retro styles, adding elegance to the jewelry;
• square — for rings in a strict modern style.

There is also a wide range of design solutions for gold rings with agate: minimalist classics with a single large mineral, vintage styles with intricate settings, modern asymmetry, and bold textural designs with pronounced textures of the setting or the agate itself.

How to wear agate rings

A ring with an agate stone is perfect both for strict business attire (light shades) and evening outfits (onyx). Moss-green agates look beautiful in traditional yellow gold, while light-colored stones pair well with white precious metal.
Agates are believed to look good alongside emeralds, opals, lapis lazuli, and jadeite; however, their energy is considered to be opposed to rubies, garnets, and diamonds. Lithotherapy specialists advise wearing gold rings with agate on the left ring finger to calm the nerves and help fight cardiovascular ailments, and on the right middle finger as a sleep-inducing or soothing remedy.

Features of choosing an agate ring

Thanks to the exceptional variety of colors and textures, everyone can find a gold ring with agate to their liking. And advice from TANGO jewelers will help you make the right choice: 

• choose a stone to match your eye color or favorite shades in clothing;
• a yellow gold setting suits minerals in “warm” tones, while white gold suits “cool” ones;
• visually elongate short fingers with pear-shaped or oval agates;
• choose only genuine, non-uniform stones with a layered structure, not pressed chips that easily crumble when scratched;
• if you believe in mysticism, pay attention to the characteristics of your zodiac sign — Aries and Libra can wear agate constantly, while Virgo and Scorpio should do so with caution.
