Botswana Agate Rings in Sterling Silver  

African Banded Agate Set in .925 Silver Ring Settings

Botswana produces some of the most recognizable banded agate in the gem trade. The parallel lines in each stone result from rhythmic crystallization, where mineral-rich water periodically floods and recedes from gas pockets in ancient lava flows. Iron and manganese oxides create the pink, gray, and brown tones that distinguish Botswana material from Brazilian or Indian agates. Lapidaries often cut these stones as cabochons to display the banding patterns across the ring face. Sterling silver provides a neutral metal backdrop that lets the stone's natural striations remain the focus. The .925 silver alloy contains 92.5% pure silver with copper added for durability, a standard that has defined quality silver jewelry for centuries. Our settings secure each agate cabochon while leaving maximum surface area visible. SilverRush Style has supplied natural stone jewelry to US customers since 2005. Every Botswana agate ring ships free within the United States and features genuine stones, not simulants or dyed material.
