This ring with black onyx draws the eye with the deep, matte black of its cabochon, set into a simple, classical band. Onyx has long found its way into signet rings and engagement rings - craftsmen valued it as a symbol of strength, endurance and confidence, and its uniform, dark surface needs no additional decoration. The very big size means the stone immediately becomes the focal point on the hand, without the need for extra detailing in the setting.

For this piece we chose a stone with an even, deep black colour and a smooth surface free of flaws - it was precisely this purity of colour that decided its selection. Silver and good stones get more expensive year after year, so a ring of this quality at this price is a sensible choice today, whether for an engagement or as a wedding ring. The setting is made of refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, and a layer of rhodium protects its surface against tarnishing and dulling, keeping the shine lasting longer. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful metal additives, so it does not irritate the skin. The silver bears the French maker's mark, which confirms its origin.

For an office look, this ring pairs well with a smooth shirt and a jacket in muted tones - graphite, navy or off-white - where the black of the onyx does not compete with the rest of the outfit but quietly completes it. It works just as well for the everyday gesture of a handshake as for hands resting on a keyboard or documents. The large size of the stone and the classic form of the band make it a ring that signals both engagement and marriage without unnecessary ornamentation.
