If you like your jewelry to be a little bit more unconventional, look into collecting your own gemstones. Particularly if you live on the West Coast of the United States and you love the look of agates, it might be worth traveling to the state of Oregon. Within that state, there is an unincorporated community known as Agate Beach. This beach is located within Lincoln County between the landmarks of Newport and Yaquina Head.
Just as the name suggests, the beach is filled with both translucent and opaque agates. If you are able to take this journey, make sure to comb the beach as early as possible. The beach has gained some level of notoriety, especially among West Coast inhabitants, and this means the beach can be picked clean by late morning. But if you are able to find a cache of gems, consider making your own jewelry with your finds. After all, a black agate necklace is sure to be a treasured part of your collection if you handpicked the gems yourself.
