A necklace with black onyx that draws out a depth that's hard to overlook. The faceted stone catches the light and returns it in fine flickers - a rich, almost velvety black that shifts in intensity with movement. Black onyx has long been associated with strength and self-assurance, and this modern necklace wears it without unnecessary ornament: the stone leads the eye while the setting recedes into the background. A length of 43 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extender lets you tailor the fit to your neckline.

Only a portion of carefully reviewed raw material makes it into the finished piece - stones with a uniform, deep colour and clean structure only. Sterling silver 925 prices have risen noticeably in recent years, which makes this price point for this level of quality particularly good value today. Refined European sterling silver 925 forms the core of the piece, and the 925 hallmark confirms the purity of the alloy - a nickel-free alloy with no harmful additives that won't irritate the skin. The rhodium layer maintains a bright, resilient shine for years. The necklace is made from rhodium-plated 925 silver signed with the French maker's mark, and the European standard of craftsmanship is visible in the precision of every link.

For a city meeting, pair the necklace with an ivory or grey marl roll-neck - the deep black of the onyx sharpens muted tones at the neckline. With an open beige trench coat the stone takes on a stronger presence and gives the whole look a decisive character. A neutral colour palette is the best backdrop for this necklace.
