Not delicate. Not dainty. This is jewelry that takes up space on purpose.
Three sterling silver bands. One 10mm black onyx stone. Worn together, they create a 7.8mm stack of hammered silver and glossy black that people notice across a room. Worn separately, each ring holds its own. That's the point. You decide how much presence you want on any given day.
The onyx is the anchor. Smooth, cool, and deeply black with that glassy finish that catches light without reflecting it back. Around it, hand-hammered sterling silver. Every dent and facet made by Emily's hammer, creating texture you can feel when you run your thumb across the band. The contrast matters: glossy against rough, black against silver, stillness against movement.
Black onyx has been worn for centuries by people who wanted to feel grounded and protected. We're not making promises about energy or metaphysics. But there's something to wearing a substantial piece of stone and silver on your hand. Something that reminds you it's there.
"I wanted something bold but not loud. Black onyx against hand-hammered silver gives you that contrast. The stone is smooth and glossy; the bands are rough and textured. Three rings instead of one means you can wear the full stack when you want presence, or just one band when you want something quieter. It adapts to how you're feeling."
Three rings. Wear them your way.
Daily Wear: Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfumes, and hairspray have dried. These can dull metals and cloud crystals over time.
Storage: Use the soft pouch we included. It prevents scratches and keeps pieces from tangling. If you're storing multiple pieces, keep them separate so chains don't knot and stones don't chip each other.
Cleaning: A soft, dry cloth is usually all you need. For brass and copper, a gentle polish restores shine. Avoid chemical cleaners on crystals.
Remove Before: Swimming, showering, hot tubs, dishes, and sleeping. Chlorine and salt water are hard on metals. Snagging a delicate wire in your sleep is harder on you.
Embrace the Patina: Brass and copper develop character over time. Some people love the warm, aged look. If you prefer bright and shiny, a polishing cloth brings it back.
Q: How does sizing work for a made-to-order ring?
A: Select your size when ordering. Emily will craft the set specifically for you. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up slightly since stacked rings fit a bit tighter than single bands. Allow 1-3 weeks for creation.
Q: Can I wear the rings separately?
A: Absolutely. That's part of the design. The center ring holds the onyx; the two outer bands are plain hammered silver. Wear all three for maximum impact, or just one or two for a subtler look.
Q: Will the sterling silver tarnish?
A: Sterling silver develops a soft patina over time, which many people prefer. If you want to maintain bright shine, a simple polishing cloth brings it right back. Avoid chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals. Store in the included velvet pouch when not wearing.
