Gemmology: Ever since Roman times, the black color of onyx is usually enhanced. More than 2000 years ago, Roman historian Pliny described a traditional technique for darkening onyx that is still in use today: the onyx is soaked in sugar water, then placed in strong acid. After boiling for two hours, the acid eats away the sugar and water, leaving pure black carbon!

Metaphysical properties: Onyx is known as a stone of strength - It is said to strengthen confidence and can help you master your destiny. It provides support in difficult times and centers your energy in times of mental or physical stress. It also offers the gift of wise decisions.
Wear them on their own or pair them with our matching necklaces and bracelet.

All my jewellery is handmade by me in my Dublin studio using traditional goldsmithing techniques. I use fair trade gold where possible and love to recycle old jewellery into a new piece to be cherished and worn. As gemmologist, I carefully select gems to delight the wearer. I work with a network of trusted small producers so I stay close to the source.
