The black onyx cabochon combines a deep, matte black with a subtle shine that only reveals itself on closer look. Around it, sixteen small cubic zirconia stones form a setting that lends the pendant lightness and draws light in around the central stone. Onyx has long been associated with strength, resilience and confidence, making it a fitting choice for a gift with personal meaning. The classic form of the pendant lets the stone stand out clearly without overwhelming the neckline.

A specimen of onyx like this one, with such a uniform, deep colour free of streaks or discolouration, is easy to overlook among ordinary stones - it's hard to find another this clean. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying this quality at this price makes sense today. The pendant is made of refined 925 silver of European quality, signed with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts for years. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergy-triggering metals, so the pendant can be worn without worrying about irritation.

For an evening out, this pendant pairs well with a little black dress with an open neckline or a silk blouse in a deep, dark shade. Simply expose the line of the neck and the black onyx will naturally draw the eye, with no need for extra jewellery at the ear or wrist. The classic chain style and the medium size of the stone mean the pendant works just as well with a shirt collar as with the open neckline of an evening dress.
