Enchanting Victorian Agate Eye Brooch

The enchantment of the Victorian agate eye is sure to capture a second glance. It is a simple beauty. The agate is one of the oldest stones in recorded history. Agate attracts strength, it is also known as a protection stone. Eye Agate regained popularity during the Victorian era. It aroused superstition and in times of mourning provided a sense of protection to the weak at heart. The glossy round beads and circular pattern suggests symbolic reference to the natural cycle of life, wholeness and unity; a comforting reminder to a Victorian woman searching for strength in times of loss.
