During the Victorian Era, bullseye agate jewelry was popular among the upper class for daytime wear. Polished into large cabochon gems, these agate stones were set into lockets, brooches, sizable bracelets, and signet style rings. Bullseye agate jewelry was prominent in the latter years of the Victorian Era, after a book published in 1864 claimed the stone prevented harm from sorcery poison, and even thunder!
This 19th century ring features a captivating bullseye agate stone in warm yellow gold. The white concentric band, created by trapped crystals of iron, contrasts beautifully against the dark agate background while pulling the eye in. The golden shoulders have an unusual textured effect, reminiscent of snake skin (another favorite of the Victorians!). This ring is a perfect example of why bullseye agate has the reputation of having a calming effect and known to increase its wearer’s awareness. Wear this rad ring to focus your efforts and energy while remaining zen.
