A classic ring set with three black onyx stones forms a clean, striking line across the finger. The faceted cut catches light from every angle, and the stone's black plays with depth, never falling flat. Three black onyx stones set in rhodium-plated 925 silver create a piece suited to a wedding day yet just as easy to wear every day - this is a ring that needs no special occasion to look polished. Black onyx has long been associated with strength, resilience and confidence, making it a natural choice for a wedding band or engagement gift.

Each of the three black onyx stones was chosen by hand - what mattered was the depth of black and the purity of the surface, with no hint of flaws or cloudiness. Good stones of this calibre are becoming rarer, as nature itself limits their supply, and the prices of silver and precious metals rise year on year. That's why this ring, at its current price, is a sensible choice to make now. It is set in refined European silver 925 - a pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, gentle on the skin even with daily wear. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts without dulling. The silver bears the French maker's mark, confirming its origin.

In a total-black outfit - a black turtleneck or a simple blouse - this is the ring that draws the eye as the hand lifts in a gesture or rests on the table. The rhodium-plated silver flashes cool against the black of the clothing, and the facets of the onyx catch every movement of the hand. It also looks good with a simple wool dress in graphite grey, where the cool metal and the black stone create a calm, orderly whole. This is a ring to wear on its own, without other bands on the same finger.
