EFFY Onyx and Diamond Frog Pendant in 14K

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.

With a warm sunny glow, 14k gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
