Earth Beauties: Agate

Fashion and Interior Design always finds a way to overlap - and that can be seen in Gucci's Spring/Summer 09 jewelry collection made with precious stones, gems, and agate. Geodes like amethyst, agate, jasper, or calcite have beautiful colors that have been popular for many, many years in home decor.

The style in my place is pretty boho-glam. I love the organic feel to these pieces, especially paired with gold accents and neutral back drops.

Check out some great ones below. Gucci Agate bracelet. I am obsessed with this bracelet. So gorgeous.

Maybe, grouping 3 of them together to make a cheese plate. Or, Stagger them on a lifted stand for desserts. Or, to enjoy them every day - use them in the kitchen to hold your salt and pepper shaker, or hang with a plate hanger.
