This black onyx pendant brings a calm, matte contrast to boho jewelry. A single onyx cabochon set in enameled silver sits at the neckline and shifts character with movement - tilt your head and soft flashes of light play across its surface, while at rest the stone stays deeply black and matte. A simple medium-sized pendant weighing 2.3 grams sits lightly on the neck, and the hand-applied enamel underscores the raw, earthy character of the whole piece.

Only a small share of the sorted raw material makes it into the finished piece - what matters is a uniform, deep black free of flaws, so the quality of onyx at this price is worth noting. Silver and other precious metals are rising in price, and good stones of this kind are becoming harder to find, which makes today's purchase a sound decision. The pendant is made from pure, refined silver 925 - European refining and an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives mean the metal is gentle on the skin. The piece is signed with the maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the French assay office. Onyx has long been linked with strength, endurance and confidence - an association that takes on a discreet character in this simple, boho form.

A pendant like this looks good at a meeting in town - worn under a cool grey turtleneck or beneath a loose trench coat in sand or charcoal tones. Neutral colours don't draw attention away from the onyx, which remains the darkest, most striking point of the outfit at the neckline. In winter it pairs well with a wool sweater, in summer with a linen shirt open at the neck. The pendant's boho character comes through best in simple, understated outfits.
