Three faceted black onyx stones line up along a silver chain, bringing a touch of understated depth to the neckline. Each facet catches the light differently - one moment flashing a sharp reflection, the next retreating into matte black, so the stone looks different from every angle. Jewellers of old associated onyx with strength, resilience and self-assurance, and today the same stone just as readily suits women looking for a simple, modern form. The 45 cm chain is finished with an adjustable 5 cm extension, letting the necklace sit loosely at the collarbone or a little lower, depending on the neckline chosen.

The selection of the three onyx stones ensures the colour and depth of black stay consistent along the whole length of the necklace, and it's precisely this consistency that reflects careful stone selection at a sensible price. Silver and good stones get more expensive year on year, and nature itself limits the availability of fine specimens, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting the origin of the silver, while the 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy used - refined European silver contains no nickel or other harmful additives and does not irritate the skin. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against scratching and tarnishing, so the metal keeps its shine for a long time despite everyday wear.

In a romantic style, this necklace pairs beautifully with a lace blouse in powder pink or a pastel dress with a soft sweetheart neckline. The black of the onyx contrasts with light fabric and draws the eye to the line of the neck without overwhelming the overall look. In summer it works well with a flowing linen dress in cream, and in winter with a sweater with a subtle neckline, letting just the chain peek out. The adjustable extension lets you match the length to your chosen collar or neckline depth, so the necklace suits everyday wear just as well as an evening look.
