Located in the Hunsrück Mountains, the town has been at the heart of Europe’s gemstone industry since at least the 14th century. Originally known for its local deposits of agate, jasper, and amethyst, Idar-Oberstein expanded in the 19th century to import gemstones from around the world. The region became particularly renowned for its agate beads, which were widely traded to Africa and the Middle East. Today, the town continues to be a leading center for gemstone cutting, with a legacy of precision, skill, and artistry in every bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-34711c23-7fff-36e6-1178-9c8057eef02b\"\u003eThis strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace.
