White Agate has been used since ancient times and its name is derived from the river Achates in Sicily. It was the stone of warriors and was among the earliest used for healing and bringing good luck. Agate can be found in all colors and many patterns, although green and blue are especially rare. The creamy White Agate is an incredibly versatile stone, which makes it perfect for use in jewelry.

This summer season and on the runways for the fall, we are seeing a lot of brights and bold patterns. In Lanvin’s spectacular fall ready-to-wear show, Alber Elbaz paired gorgeous, oversized necklaces and mirrored pendants with colorful evening wear, fur and leather. But be careful, pairing colorful accessories with such bright looks can cause the unique quality of each item to be lost. So for everyday looks, when you’re not walking the runways in Paris, mixing neutrals with brights or patterns is important. Having a bold necklace in white can be just as striking and special as one in red or blue. We have some new items in the store that feature White Agate and are perfect for any stylish woman’s ever changing wardrobe.
