Deep and understated, this ring with three black onyx stones builds a calm, striking whole in a vintage spirit. The faceted cut breaks the black into small planes that catch the light in brief flashes as the hand moves, rather than shining evenly. The design with multiple stones set in a row also works well as a wedding ring - the symmetry of the three onyxes lends it gravity without excess. Jewellers of old associated black onyx with strength of character, perseverance and self-assurance, which suits a ring worn for an important moment.

The three onyx stones were matched so that their colour and depth of black are even - no single stone stands out lighter than the others. This is a carefully selected, natural stone at a reasonable price, and since silver and good stones keep rising in price, buying now makes sense. Rhodium on the surface protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear for years to come. The base is refined European silver, sterling silver 925 - a pure alloy free of nickel and other allergenic additions, so the ring can be worn without worry of irritation. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

The black of the onyx pairs well with a romantic look - a lace blouse, a pastel-toned dress or a soft powder-pink knit. On the hand, the ring does not get lost in such a combination, since a dark stone always stands out against a light background. It can be worn every day with a simple sweater, and in the evening with a dress for a wedding or another special occasion it lets the hand draw attention without excess.
