Three faceted onyxes sit along a silver chain, forming a necklace with a clean, minimalist line. The faceted cut draws out the black stone's depth and cool sheen, without any flashes or lighter streaks - the onyx stays uniformly dark, self-contained. Each of the three stones is assessed for colour purity and surface smoothness before it goes into the setting. In Scandinavian and Mediterranean jewelry traditions, onyx was associated with strength, endurance and confidence.

Selected onyx at this price is a sensible choice today, as silver and good stones keep steadily rising in price. The necklace is made of refined European silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects its surface from tarnishing and losing its shine for years to come. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, which confirms the origin of the metal. A pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives means even sensitive skin can wear it without irritation.

The 42 cm chain with an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you set the necklace at exactly the height you like - just below the collarbone or showing off more décolletage. The onyxes catch the eye against a soft grey or beige sweater, where the stone's black colour becomes the strongest point of the whole outfit. It also looks good in a total-black look, close to a shirt or turtleneck, where it stands out subtly against the fabric. At 3.1 g, it remains almost unnoticeable against the neck all day long.
