A sterling silver onyx pendant necklace with an emerald-cut black onyx held in a partial bezel. The deep black stone sits with its step-cut facets fully open, framed top and bottom by clean bars of polished silver. Black onyx has long been carried as a stone of protection and grounding, a quiet meaning behind the color. The compact drop hangs from a sterling silver curb chain, sitting just below the collar. The polished finish holds its brightness through regular wear. Wear it on its own as a single dark focal point or layered with other silver chains.
