Onyx Jewelry

Onyx jewelry is often treasured. Onyx was used years back to immortalize loved ones in cameos. Cameos could be used as broaches, pendants and sometimes earrings. Onyx can also be cut as beads.

Onyx is natural but is also often “created” by staining agate. Most onyx on the market today is a deep black color. Onyx is usually found in rings. Men’s rings with onyx are popular.

Onyx jewelry is often set in gold because of the visual contrast of black and gold. Onyx can be cut into gemstone shapes and set in earrings and pendants as well. The stone is also commonly seen in a smooth oval cut and looks great with “antiqued” silver.
