While designer Carl Ansley is inspired by the natural world, you'll see it most in the line and proportion of his modern pieces rather than in traditional motifs. Throughout his 22 year-career, which began at Tiffany & Co., Carl has developed a deep appreciation for the artistic process behind creating gorgeous, eye-catching jewelry. Form follows function but doesn't overwhelm it. For example, because rings can twist on the finger, he creates a natural curve high on a ring's shoulders so it will rest comfortably on the finger next to it. He takes great care to create jewelry that makes a bold statement in order to express a woman's own style and personality. Carl says the greatest accomplishment of his long career is designing and crafting his wife's diamond engagement ring and wedding band. It's just what you'd expect from a designer who thinks first of the woman who will wear his jewelry.

Black onyx is said to have the power to defend against negative energies. It fortifies your confidence and responsibility, helping you to accomplish your goals. When shopping for black onyx jewelry, the most important aspect to consider is the craftsmanship of the gem and the jewelry piece. Common black onyx is cut in cabochons or flat slabs. Although all black onyx is opaque, premium black onyx is faceted just like a gem so it catches the light on its surface. Gemvara's black onyx is cut and polished for a surface that resembles more expensive gems like black diamond and black spinel. All black onyx has its color enhanced to provide a dark, even tone. Black onyx is the 7th anniversary gem and the zodiac gem for the sign of Leo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality black onyx will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine black onyx jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
