Details

Agate gemstones were originally worn plain in a string by Kings and titled men, commonly called Ichie, in the southern parts of Nigeria.

Agate is a family name given to a wide variety of Chalcedony. It is the oldest recorded gemstone used in jewelry from the Babylonian Empire. They are said to give their wearer rich dreams and are considered a form of protection. It is also used as the 12th and 14th wedding anniversary gemstone.

In the eastern and other parts of Nigeria 🇳🇬, the agate tradition remains in many cultures where the gem is highly appreciated and adorned by celebrants during weddings and special occasions.
