Our Black Onyx

Onyx is a durable, low-maintenance stone that looks equally as stunning set in either silver or gold metals. We use the gemstone to enhance many of our stylish rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings with its timeless versatility. Popular among all age groups, black onyx makes an appealing gift that can be worn for any occasion.

We offer both genuine and simulated black onyx. Simulated onyx has only slightly more shine and negligibly less weight than its real counterpart. It’s very difficult to spot the difference between the two stones, unless a heat or scratch test is administered.

Gemstone care instructions: clean by rinsing in warm water, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh abrasives or chemicals to ensure your stones remain durable for years to come.

Benefits & History of Black Onyx

Black onyx is thought to shield negative energy and offer protection to its wearer. The gemstone has a long history of use in feng shui, an ancient Chinese practice that uses energy to harmonize individuals with their surroundings. Some also believe that black onyx also aids clarity in decision-making.

Today, the most popular use for onyx is in jewelry, where the gemstone is usually cut as a smooth cabochon or into beads. Black onyx is durable enough for daily wear and has become one of the most popular unisex stones. With its sleek and modern appearance, onyx adds a touch of sophistication to any jewelry collection. It is also the traditional stone for a 7th wedding anniversary.
