A black onyx cabochon brings a deep, matte black into this ring, revealing subtle, dark glints across the smooth surface of the stone as the hand turns. The ring's vintage silhouette, with a clearly defined setting, recalls shapes worn decades ago, while staying light on the finger. This is an engagement ring with a restrained character, free of unnecessary ornament - all attention rests on the stone.

We select the black onyx for this piece by hand, so that the colour and depth of black stay even across the whole cabochon. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy, and the refined European silver contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so the metal does not irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the ring needs less everyday cleaning and keeps its shine longer. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin. Silver and good stones get more expensive year by year, so buying a ring like this today remains a sensible choice price-wise. In old-world craftsmanship, onyx was associated with strength, endurance and self-assurance - symbolism that suits an engagement ring well.

In summer, this ring pairs well with a light linen dress in a pale ecru or sand shade - the dark cabochon stands out clearly against the white fabric and catches the eye with every gesture of the hand. It also suits a cotton shirt with a rolled-up sleeve and simple summer silver accessories. The stone's big size means the ring looks good on its own, without other rings on the same hand. At 5.2 g, it feels solid on the finger without weighing the hand down.
