Deep, matte black onyx cut as a cabochon draws the eye with a firm, uniform blackness that doesn't reflect light at a single point but scatters it evenly across the whole surface. It's surrounded by ten small cubic zirconia stones that add a delicate sparkle to the ring and highlight the vintage character of the whole piece. This silhouette, with its clearly marked edge and dense stone pattern, recalls old-fashioned design while still wearing easily every day. In old-world craftsmanship, black onyx was linked to symbolism of strength, endurance and self-confidence. This association makes the ring a fitting choice as a wedding and engagement gift.

The stone for this ring is hand-selected, with each piece examined for clarity and depth of black, so only specimens of exceptional quality at a reasonable price make it through. Silver and good stones keep rising in price, so buying at this price today makes sense. The setting is made of refined sterling silver 925 with a high alloy purity, free of nickel and other additions that could irritate the skin. The surface is coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the silver from tarnishing and scratching, so the ring keeps its shine for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered with the assay office, which attests to the origin of the metal.

In summer, this ring looks good on the hand with a flowing linen dress in a light, sandy shade - the black onyx catches the eye against white and beige, needing no extra ornamentation around it. It also pairs well with a linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves and simple, light-coloured trousers. The big size and weight of 4.2 grams give this form the right presence on the finger without weighing down the hand. This is a ring that can be worn both as part of wedding attire and as everyday jewelry with a distinct, retro character.
