AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I offer at auction a spectacular long bracelet/necklace of Brazilian agates (green, brown, purple, blue... agate) with Santa Agatha stone (Symbol of Fortitude). The entire necklace has been hand-knotted between each bead; the clasp is 925 silver with gold plating.
This exclusive necklace, being very long, can be worn in many different ways, all very flattering depending on the occasion.
The relationship between agate and Christianity is twofold: on one hand, it is mentioned as a precious stone in the Bible, and on the other hand, it is associated with the figure of Saint Agatha (Symbol of Fortitude).
Material: green, blue, purple, brown agate from Brazil - HIGH QUALITY
Gem origin: Brazil
Agate shapes: Flat oval - VERY SPECIAL
Bead size: about 38 mm
Necklace length: 118 cm - VERY LONG
Professionally hand-knotted necklace with thread of silk and cotton blend
Gift box and protective pouches
The photos are part of the description
The display bust has a diameter of 22 cm (not for auction)
Saint Agatha of Catania
Martyr and Patron Saint: Agatha (from Greek agathé, meaning 'kind') was a young virgin and martyr of the 3rd century in Sicily, who suffered persecution for her Christian faith under Emperor Decius.
Symbolism of Fortitude: Her story is an example of unwavering faith and composure in the face of torture. She is the patron saint of Catania, and her intercession is invoked against volcanic eruptions (such as Mount Etna). She is also the patroness of nurses and people suffering from breast cancer, due to the tortures she endured.
