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.
