Onyx Jewelry

Resting in your palm, a polished onyx stays cool for a long while, and that feeling is sometimes enough to explain why people choose onyx jewelry. Its black is solid, with no veining and no colored sheen, which makes it the most understated stone in the selection. It’s credited with perseverance, the kind behind choices you stick to even when the urge fades.

A stone, a style,
your story.

A few pointers to find what feels like you.

A chalcedony in solid black

Onyx belongs to the chalcedony family, like agate. The kind worn in jewelry is almost always black, an even black that takes a fine shine when polished. Faceted, it plays with light plane by plane. Polished as a bead or cabochon, it stays more matte and more discreet.

Constancy and discipline

Onyx is linked to discipline and perseverance: setting yourself markers, then carrying a project through over time. Any sustained effort suits it: a course of study, a training plan, a commitment you mean to honor. It won’t act in your place, but it supports steady habits.

Faceted drops and matte beads

Onyx comes as drop earrings, cut into a faceted teardrop, as malas where its beads alternate with more colorful stones, and as all-black bracelets, worn alone or stacked. Its black sets off the brighter stones paired with it.

The black that goes with everything

Neutral, onyx goes with any outfit and pairs as well with tiger’s eye as with blue stones. It suits men as much as women. For a gift, think of someone who prefers understated jewelry, or who is taking on a long-haul project.
