The black onyx mineral pendant is made from a piece of natural deep black stone that has been pre-drilled with a bead hole and polished to a mirror finish. Within a few minutes you can thread it at home onto your favourite chain, and you don't need to pay for expensive jeweller's work to hang it.
The mirror-polished surface of black onyx
Black onyx is a member of the chalcedony family with a characteristic deep black colour. The mirror-polished surface reflects light as if a small mirror were resting at the neck. Every piece will be slightly different in shape for you, because the polished forms follow the natural veining of the stone.
Size and wearing comfort
The pendant is sized so that when worn around the neck it remains light. You don't need to buy an expensive metal mount, because the chosen cord or chain can be threaded directly through the drilled bead.
What the mirror-polished black suits
Thanks to the elegant and restrained appearance, black onyx suits business attire, festive occasions and everyday outfits alike. On a silver chain you achieve classic elegance, on a brass-toned chain a warm vintage effect, and on a leather cord a natural, everyday mood.
For both men's and women's wear
Thanks to the black colour and mirror-polished surface, black onyx is suitable for both men's and women's wear. You don't need to choose between separate male and female versions – the stone looks good regardless of gender. It is also a good gift for Father's Day, birthdays and graduations.
Cleaning to preserve the shine
You can wipe the stone with a soft cloth in lukewarm water. You should avoid strong chemicals, dish soap and direct perfume contact. Occasionally polish it with a dry cotton cloth so the mirror shine is preserved for longer.
Storage against scratching
Store the pendant in a small textile pouch or in a separate jewellery-box compartment so metal jewellery does not scratch the mirror-polished surface. This way you can ensure that the stone preserves its lustre for years to come.
