Black Onyx Necklaces by Carl Ansley

At Gemvara, we believe that the black onyx necklaces you wear should be precious because they're personal. All our stylish necklaces are made just for you, in your choice of gems and precious metals. Add your own meaning to every design, creating beautiful memories and brilliant reminders. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an anniversary or graduation to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Pendants with symbolism, like circles, keys, hearts, initials, and knots are as personal as they are fashionable. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft our black onyx necklaces with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our growing selection of black onyx necklaces by Randy Dixon, Damon Washington, Ruzanna Davtian, and other talented designers means you can find a necklace that's exactly your style. First popular in Victorian mourning jewelry, black onyx also is featured in graphic black and white Art Deco jewels. Common black onyx is cut in cabochons or flat slabs. Gemvara's black onyx is faceted and polished for a surface that resembles more expensive gems like black diamond and black spinel. All Gemvara pendants are available with your choice of chain style and length or no chain at all if that's what you prefer. The most popular chain length is 18 inches, which works with many necklines. Clean black onyx necklaces with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality black onyx necklaces are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

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.
