The distinctive stripes of zebra onyx
Zebra onyx is a limestone-based mineral whose striking black-and-white bands resemble a zebra's pattern. This pendant is made from an uncut variant, so you will find a different line-flow on every piece: in some places the stripes are denser, in others wider.
Why choose this stone
The black-and-white contrast is universal: it goes with a classic white blouse, a black jumper, and also lifts colourful outfits well. Many of our male customers also choose it, because it is not flashily decorative yet has clear character.
The structure of the pendant
The stone is hand-set into a silver-coloured metal holder, and a loop on top lets you thread it onto your own chain or leather cord. The setting does not cover the pattern of the stone, so the natural banding is visible in its full glory.
Occasions when it works well
Light and cheerful for everyday wear, understated elegance at the office, an eye-catching piece for dinner. You can also give it as a gift: for a birthday, graduation or name day to someone who loves natural yet striking pieces.
Cleaning and storage
You can wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then dry it. Protect it from chemicals and keep it separate from other jewellery so that its surface does not get scratched. Stored in a cool, dry place, it will retain its contrasty look for years.
If you like to dress in varied ways, this pendant really goes with everything. In the morning on a thin chain to the office, in the evening on a thicker leather cord to dinner. The black-and-white banding does not compete with your outfit but highlights it.
