Black Onyx Engagement Rings by Jeet Palavwala

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for black onyx engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Black onyx has the classic sophistication of wear-anywhere black. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Judy Evans, Gemvara Essentials, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean black onyx engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality black onyx engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Jeet Palavwala designs sophisticated dimensional jewelry that is like sculpture in precious metal and gems. His stunning lotus ring was the winner of our first international design competition. Although Jeet is from Surat, India, the city where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished, he began his career designing machine tools. Before long he began using technology to design jewelry instead, naming his jewelry design studio Neviell. By combining his love of art with his a strong technical background, Jeet discovered that creating jewelry was his passion, or as he describes it, his "destiny." Always challenging his mind to think in new ways, he enjoys bringing new jewelry design ideas to life each day.

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.
