EFFY Onyx Pendant in Sterling Silver & 18K

Sleek black onyx has been valued for millennia. It’s named for the ancient Greek for “fingernail.” Legend says that Cupid cut the fingernails of Venus while she was sleeping and the fates turned the fingernails to stone to preserve them. Popular in mourning jewelry in the Victorian era and geometric black and white jewelry in the Art Deco period, black onyx is a versatile gem that can play a starring role in jewelry or provide a striking contrast in a supporting role. Black onyx is said to have the power to reflect back negative energy and increase your determination to accomplish your goals. Black onyx is the 7th anniversary gem.
