Just over ten carats is where yellow agate starts to look serious on the hand. This 10.15 carat stone is large enough for a man's ring or a statement pendant, without being awkward for daily wear.

Agate is one of the tougher coloured stones, rated 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. That is plenty for regular wear, as long as you do not knock it against a door frame or store it loose among diamonds and sapphires. A soft cloth and lukewarm water keep it clean.

It is priced a little above the gentler yellow agates in our range, so compare it before deciding. As with all yellow agate, colour enhancement by dyeing is common, and we would rather you asked than guessed. Quote AG-YE-0008 on WhatsApp and we will tell you what we know about this stone.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale yellow agate rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy yellow agate from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every yellow agate for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
