Description:

Onyx is a gemstone widely used in jewellery. Its intense colour ranges from dark brown to black, the latter being much more commonly used. Onyx can be found in orange, yellow, reddish, brown, white, brown and black, among others. Onyx has a shiny surface, which makes it ideal for jewellery. It is a variant of the Agate stone.

The most important deposits where Onyx can be found are in Brazil and Uruguay.

According to legend, this gemstone was created when Cupid cut the nails of a sleeping Venus and scattered them on the ground. As the parts of a divine creature do not die, the divinities transformed them into a precious stone, which was later called Onyx.

Its intense black colour is an excellent choice as it matches any style.
