How positively striking is this strand of Suleiman Agate Beads?! At 32” long they’d make for quite the statement necklace that also has a fascinating history. Suleiman Agates, or Solomon’s Agates, are a highly revered bead throughout the Near East and Central Asia that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Some legends say the name comes from the secret location that they were originally mined from which only King Solomon knew; others say that they were once plain, unpatterned agates that only developed bands after being in the presence of the King Solomon himself and his fabled wisdom. They were said to impart to the possessor that same knowledge and power, as well as the ability to control Djinn (Genies). In Southeast Asia, for Tibetan and Nepalese people, they were known as Bhaisajyaguru beads, or Medicine Buddha beads. They were prized by families as heirlooms, and passed from generation to generation for the belief in their ability to preserve health and heal illness, and even exercise power over death in some exceptional cases. #suleimanagate #solomanagate #bandedagate #zebraagate #agate #antiqueagate #vintageagate #agatejewelry #statementnecklace #statementjewelry #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzbq1OThBTD/?igshid=66zs2be7liqz

I’m a big fan of color color color but even I can admit that I’m taken with these spell-binding strands of Suleiman Agate circa 1900. Perhaps it’s because it’s a shape you don’t see all of the time, or the smooth matte finish, or the beautiful striations that are different on each bead… or it could be the way they all combine together here that makes these such a catch ($485/strand) #suleimanagate #agate #agatenecklace #agatebeads #rareagate #rarebeads #antique #antiquejewelry #blackandwhite #blackwhiteandgrey #stripes #stripedbeads #uniquejewelry #ratejewelry #fashion #style #summerstyle #shop #nyc (at Beads of Paradise NYC)

This 28” Suleiman Agate Strand is positively gorgeous! Suleiman agates, or Solomon’s agates, are a highly revered bead throughout the Near East and Central Asia that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. While some say the name comes from the secret location they were originally mined from, which only King Solomon knew, others say that they were once plain, unpatterned agates that only developed bands after being in the possession of the famous King himself and his fabled wisdom. They were said to impart to the possessor that same knowledge and power, as well as the ability to control djinn (genies).

Currently smitten by this stunning Suleiman Heirloom Agate Necklace! I just *love* how much character each and every bead has, despite all being the same stone, and much life it lends to piece as a whole!

One look at these Fine Indian Natural Banded Agates, and you know they’re special! Considered Suleiman Agates, these gems are highly revered throughout the Near East and Central Asia. Some say they come from a mine only King Solomon knew; others say they were plain, unlined agates that only developed bands after being in the presence of King Soloman and his wisdom. It is said that they will impart that same widsom to the wearer, as well as the ability to control Djinn (Genies).
