Onyx

Which Onyx jewellery will you find here?

In this collection you wear Onyx on your wrist, around your neck, in your ear and on your finger.

Onyx bracelets

Stretch beaded bracelets with Onyx beads of 3, 4 or 6 mm are the favourite. They measure 18 cm and are strung by hand. In the gold tone version, the metal beads between the stones are gold filled. That is a thick layer of gold that stays beautiful for a long time. You will also find bracelets with cut Onyx in a setting and complete bracelet sets.

Onyx pendants and necklaces

In the pendants, the Onyx sits firmly in a setting of 925 sterling silver. You choose a cushion cut stone, a long baguette or a smooth stone with a twisted rim. The beaded necklace with 2 mm Onyx beads measures 42 cm plus a 2 cm extension chain. Prefer to switch things up? Then hang a loose Onyx pendant gemstone in a clip pendant.

Onyx earrings

You hang loose Onyx earring gemstones on your hoop or stud yourself. They come in shapes such as oval, leaf, baguette and a triangular trillion cut. There are also push back earrings with Onyx. A black stone near your face instantly adds a bold accent.

Onyx rings

Rings with Onyx come in 925 sterling silver and in solid 9 carat gold. The gold rings have a longer delivery time, because the workshop makes them separately. There are also beaded rings with faceted Onyx beads.

How do you combine Onyx?

Black is the easiest colour to combine.

Onyx with gold gives a classic, luxurious contrast. Onyx with silver looks sleek and modern. In a bracelet stack, Onyx works as a calm point between colourful stones. Combine it with Rose Quartz for soft contrast, for example, or with Tiger Eye for a warm autumn look.

Do you wear a lot of black clothing? Then Onyx blends in subtly. In that case, choose gold tone, so the metal adds the accent. With white, beige and camel, Onyx really stands out.

How do you recognise real Onyx?

You recognise real Onyx by its feel, weight and shine.

Real Onyx feels cool and heavy. Glass warms up faster and is often lighter. Polished Onyx has a deep, even shine. Do you see tiny air bubbles in the stone? Then you are usually dealing with glass. For every piece, the specifications tell you which type of stone it is.

What does Onyx mean?

Onyx has a long history in stories and traditions.

According to old lore, Onyx stands for strength, focus and protection. That is why many women choose Onyx at a time when they want to feel strong and grounded. Astrologers often link Onyx to the zodiac sign Capricorn. These meanings are not scientifically proven. They do give your jewellery a personal story.

How to keep your Onyx jewellery beautiful

Onyx is strong, but its shine needs a little care.

Take off your jewellery when you shower, swim, exercise and sleep. Water and soap wear down the plating and weaken elastic. Do not use harsh products, alcohol or acetone, because they dull the stone. Polish with a dry, soft cloth and store each piece separately. That way the deep black shine stays beautiful for years.
