Deep, matte-gleaming black onyx cut as a cabochon gives this pendant a modern, clearly defined character. The stone's dark, even colour doesn't scatter light but holds it - the surface answers with a subtle, cool glint whenever the pendant moves against the neck. In old symbolism onyx was linked to strength, endurance and self-assurance, which suits well the simple, restrained form of the setting.

For this piece we chose a stone with a deep, even black and high clarity - it was precisely this colour uniformity that decided its selection. Good stones of this quality are becoming harder to find, and silver prices are rising, so buying a pendant like this today remains a sound choice price-wise. The setting is made of pure, refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives - it is this fineness that confirms the purity of the alloy. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, protecting the silver from tarnishing and dulling, so the metal's shine lasts for a long time. The silver here is stamped with the French maker's mark, which vouches for the metal's origin. The pendant weighs 2.2 g, so it sits lightly on the neckline and is almost unnoticeable.

Black onyx naturally draws the eye toward the neck and collar, so it works well with a simple, smooth neckline. For everyday wear, pair it with a soft sweater in cool grey or with a monochrome, muted outfit - onyx then clearly brings out the contrast without the need for extra accessories. In the evening, the same pendant looks good with a black top with an open neckline, where the onyx cabochon becomes a natural focal point that draws the eye.
