Oxidised Oval Onyx Pendant

Oxidised Oval Onyx Pendant – Deep Black Cabochon with Oxidised Silver Pattern

Bold, grounding, and effortlessly versatile — our Oxidised Oval Onyx Pendant pairs one of jewellery's most enduring gemstones with a sterling silver setting that has been given an oxidised pattern finish for added depth and character. The deep, opaque black of the onyx cabochon creates a striking contrast against the darkened silver surround, resulting in a pendant that is simultaneously dramatic and wearable. At 23mm tall and 18mm wide, it occupies a confident mid-scale position — substantial enough to make a statement, refined enough for everyday wear.

• Metal: 925 sterling silver — oxidised pattern finish surrounding the stone
• Stone: Onyx, oval cabochon — deep, opaque black with a smooth polished surface
• Dimensions: 23mm height × 18mm width — mid-scale oval with confident presence
• Finish: Oxidised silver pattern — darkened detail that frames the stone with artisan character
• Chain: Pairs beautifully with a 55cm curb chain (2mm thickness), sold separately

Onyx is one of the most versatile gemstones in fine jewellery — its deep, uniform black works with every metal tone, every outfit, and every occasion. The oxidised pattern on this pendant adds a layer of visual interest that a plain bezel setting cannot: the darkened silver creates a tonal interplay with the black onyx, where the contrast comes not from colour but from texture and surface quality — the matte-to-satin oxidised silver against the high-polish of the onyx cabochon. The curb chain pairing is a deliberate choice, its flat, interlocking links adding a modern edge that suits the pendant's bold, graphic character.

Perfect For: Birthdays, Christmas, and gifting for those who prefer dark, dramatic jewellery or a monochromatic aesthetic. A natural choice for men's jewellery or unisex gifting, and an ideal complement to both silver and mixed-metal jewellery stacks. Onyx is associated with strength, focus, and protection — a meaningful gift for someone facing a new challenge or transition.

Imagine this pendant on a 55cm curb chain, the deep black onyx oval resting against the skin — the oxidised silver pattern framing it with quiet authority, the contrast between stone and metal subtle yet unmistakable. A piece that works with everything, and elevates anything.
