Natural Agate

Agate used in fashion and interiors has been up and coming in the last 2 years. As people yearn for a closer connection to nature, designers have used stones and metals as close as possible to their natural state in their creations. This season fashion designers are doing the same. The colors are rich yet natural and gold is a major presence. Shown form top left.
