The black onyx cabochon sits on a chain right at the neckline and draws the eye from the very first moment. The smooth, domed surface of the stone plays with light differently than faceted cuts do - instead of sparkle, it gives off a deep, even sheen that reflects its surroundings with every movement, like a small black mirror. Onyx has long been associated with strength, resilience and self-confidence, making this pendant a natural choice for moments that call for focus and calm. The modern, simple setting doesn't distract from the stone - the whole form stays light and clean.

For this piece, the onyx was chosen for its exceptionally even, deep black colour and clean surface free of scratches or flaws, which is rare to find at this price. Silver and quality stones are getting more expensive, and such clean specimens of onyx are increasingly hard to find today, so this purchase makes sense right now. The pendant is made of refined 925 silver, extracted and refined in Europe, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear for a long time. The alloy is free of nickel and other metals known to cause skin reactions, so even sensitive skin can wear it without irritation. The silver bears the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin.

This pendant works best in the evening - with a little black dress with an open neckline or a silk blouse with a deep neckline, where the onyx draws the eye without needing any extra jewelry. It's worth keeping the neck bare aside from this one stone and limiting the rest of the look to delicate earrings. The modern form and a weight of 2.3 grams mean the pendant lies flat and moves freely, never getting in the way during an evening out.
