A Quick Sparkle Into Onyx's Past

Before we get to the pretty pieces, let’s take a peek into what makes onyx so unique! 

Black onyx is a form of chalcedony, a type of quartz, and it ranks between 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale. Translation? She’s durable enough for everyday wear - but like all gems, she appreciates gentle love. A little mindfulness and regular cleaning will help keep your onyx jewelry glowing for years to come! Here at our shop, we offer free ring cleanings and stone tightenings as a complimentary service for the lifetime of your ring.

Lastly, wearing a piece of onyx jewelry will help alleviate stress and can help protect you from any harm coming your way!
