This black onyx bracelet pairs stark minimalism with the depth of a stone whose black runs tar-dark and intense. The faceted cut breaks up the onyx surface into small planes that catch the light with every turn of the wrist and throw it back in short, sharp flashes. Two onyxes are set in simple rhodium silver, and thin, adjustable links let you fine-tune the length: the base 17 cm can be extended by 4 cm with an additional extension chain. Onyx has long been linked to strength and endurance, and in many cultures it was seen as a symbol of confidence.

Only a small share of the raw material examined makes it into the finished piece - what matters is a deep, even black free of streaks or discoloration, so quality here goes hand in hand with a sensible price. Silver and good stones are steadily rising in price, and onyxes with such a saturated colour are getting harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The bracelet is made of pure, refined European silver 925, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A layer of rhodium protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the metal keeps its shine for a long time despite daily wear. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to its origin.

At 4.2 grams, the bracelet is barely noticeable on the wrist, which suits its minimalist form well. It looks great pulled over the cuff of a soft turtleneck sweater or paired with an oversized top in cool grey - the black of the onyx stands out clearly against light-coloured knitwear. In total black outfits it becomes a subtle detail, visible only up close, on a hand lifting a cup or reaching for a phone. This is jewelry to wear every day, under a sleeve, without taking it off.
