Everyone is wearing it – the sophisticated businesswoman, the male politician and even teenage boys and girls have all been seen wearing black onyx jewelry in greatly increasing numbers. Onyx appeals to both genders and all ages, largely because of its seemingly endless style variations and adaptability to the fashion trends of any group and many people find its unique, elegant appearance irresistible.

A piece of onyx jewelry can make casual day ensembles classy and fancy evening attire even more elegant. Since black is a neutral color, matches every other color of the spectrum, you’ll never have to worry that your black onyx piece will not match your favorite dress, business suit or casual wear. Because it is so adaptable to any type of wardrobe, it makes a great gift option for man, woman and child.

Some popular types of black onyx jewelry include rings, bracelets, necklaces, decorative pins and earrings. Men also can find various styles of onyx cuff links and tie tacks. Sometimes, the onyx is featured as the centerpiece of the jewelry. In other instances, it only serves as a small accent to a piece of jewelry and is used to highlight other gemstones or specific aspects of the metal setting.

Since it does not cost more than a few dollars per carat, you can find black onyx at very reasonable prices. For instance, some very attractive bracelets, earrings and necklaces can be as inexpensive as $30. Like any other genre of jewelry, you’ll also find some pieces that are quite expensive, with prices of several hundred or even several thousand dollars. Typically, the more expensive pieces are more intricate designs that require the efforts of skilled jewelers. Additionally, the amount of precious metal in the setting is also a large factor in the final retail price of this jewelry and some pieces are made with rather large amounts of these metals.

The care and cleaning of onyx jewelry is a very simple process and far easier than that of most other forms of jewelry. This genre of jewelry usually requires only a short soak in warm soapy water. If any residue or dirt is present under the stone, you may use a soft bristle toothbrush to remove this material and your jewelry will sparkle like the day you bought it! Onyx jewelry should never be cleaned in ultrasonic cleaners because they often cause the stone to chip and acquire surface scratches.

If your loved one likes wearing jewelry, consider a gift of black onyx. Chances are that this gift will be that person’s first exposure to this genre of jewelry and they’ll truly appreciate you introducing them to it. Whatever the occasion, when buying jewelry, I recommend that you always consider black onyx jewelry as a gift – your loved ones will truly appreciate it!
