Why I'm Obsessed with 925 Sterling Silver Matte Black Agate and Gray Jade Oval Ring (Honest Review)

My Verdict: 4.9/5
Best For: Minimalist statement lovers who like a moody, handmade vibe
Price: 99.00

I bought the 925 Sterling Silver Matte Black Agate and Gray Jade Oval Ring because I wanted something bold but under-the-radar. I got that — and then some. The matte black agate gives a gorgeous, low-shine drama. The gray jade centre softens it. Together they make a stunning oval that actually looks handmade (because it is). Handmade in Australia is a huge plus. I reckon you can feel the care in the finish. It feels solid on my finger. Not flimsy. The 925 sterling silver ring band is comfortable and sits flat. Compare it to store-bought costume rings? Night and day. This has that boutique jeweller vibe. The craftsmanship beats a lot of mall jewellery. If you’re used to salon-quality pieces, this sits comfortably next to them — maybe even nudges ahead because of the handmade detail. Style-wise, it’s versatile. I wore it with jeans and a black tee. I also paired it with a silk blouse for drinks. It brings a moody, sleek edge without screaming for attention. I reckon it’s great for everyday wear if you’re a bit careful.

• Pro: Handmade in Australia — you can see the detail.
• Pro: Stunning matte black agate paired with soft gray jade.
• Pro: Solid 925 sterling silver. Feels weighty and real.
• Pro: Versatile. Dresses up and down easily.
• Con: Needs careful removal for housework and chemicals.
• Con: Matte finishes can show tiny scratches over time.
• Con: If your fingers swell, a snug fit can feel tight after long wear.

Fit: I ordered my usual size and it fit true to size. If you’re between sizes, size up. Finish: Matte, not glossy. That means less obvious fingerprints but more visible fine scratches over years. Care: Wipe with a soft cloth. Keep away from chlorine, harsh cleaners and heavy perfumes. A quick polish brings the silver back.

It’s a confident piece. Handmade in Australia gives it character. It feels like a piece you’d find in a small Melbourne studio, not mass-produced. For 99.00, that’s a heap of style for the price. I wear it when I want a little edge without overdoing it.

How long does it last?
With regular wear and basic care, years. The silver is solid 925, so it won’t fall apart. The stones are set well. Expect a long life if you avoid rough knocks and keep it clean.

Is it waterproof?
Not really. Don’t swim or shower in it. Sterling silver reacts to chlorine and sulphur. Also avoid saltwater. Quick tip: take it off for washing up and put it back on after you’re dressed.
