Bold enough to anchor any outfit, refined enough to elevate it

This is jewelry that makes a statement without shouting. That 40mm black onyx pendant commands attention the way still water does. Glossy, deep, almost liquid-looking. It's framed by a progression of stones that tell a color story: deep blue sodalite with white veining like clouds across a night sky, crazy lace agate swirling with creams and grays and hints of rust. Each stone separated by leather knots that Emily ties by hand, creating this organic rhythm between smooth stone and soft leather.

The bronze findings warm the whole piece up. Without them, it might feel too cool, too stark. With them, it becomes wearable art that works with gold jewelry, silver, or stands alone. The leather cord adjusts from 16 to 20 inches, so you can wear it high and close or let it drop toward your heart. Your choice changes the entire look.

Yes, black onyx is considered a grounding stone and sodalite supposedly helps with communication. But honestly? You'll wear this because it looks incredible with everything from your favorite worn t-shirt to that dress you save for special occasions.

"I love working with leather and stones together. There's something about mixing textures that makes jewelry feel more alive. This piece started when I found that perfect onyx pendant. It needed companions that wouldn't compete but would complement. The sodalite and crazy lace create this visual journey toward the centerpiece. Every time I make one, I'm reminded that bold doesn't have to mean complicated."

The Artistry in the Details

• A 40mm black onyx pendant that's genuinely impressive. Not costume jewelry pretending to be bold, but actual stone with real weight and presence
• Sodalite beads in varying shades of blue, from midnight to almost periwinkle. Each one different because nature doesn't do matching sets
• Crazy lace agate that earned its name. No two beads alike, each one a tiny landscape of swirls and bands
• Hand-tied leather knots that create visual breathing room between stones. They're functional spacers that became design elements
• Bronze findings that develop character over time. They'll patina slightly, adding to that collected-over-time look
• Adjustable length that actually adjusts easily. No fighting with tiny clasps. Just move the bronze closure where you want it

The Ritual

This is your go-to piece when you want to look put-together without trying too hard. Throw it on with jeans and a white tee. Layer it over a black turtleneck. Let it be the only jewelry you wear, or stack it with smaller necklaces for that collected-over-time look. The leather softens with wear, conforming to your neck. The stones warm against your skin. After a while, it stops feeling like an accessory and starts feeling like armor. Beautiful armor, but armor nonetheless.

Key Elements

Black Onyx

A mirror-finish 40mm round that catches light and reflects it back. The kind of black that looks deep rather than flat

Blue Sodalite

Natural variations from dark navy to bright blue, with white veining that looks like lightning or rivers, depending on the stone

Crazy Lace Agate

Nature's abstract art. Bands of cream, gray, and warm rust tones that swirl without repeating

Leather & Bronze

Black leather cord that's sturdy but soft, bronze findings that add just enough metallic warmth without overwhelming the stones

Complete Your Ritual

Wear it to the gallery opening where you want to look artistic but not like you're trying too hard. To the weekend market where your style matters but comfort matters more. Gift it to the friend who appreciates statement pieces that don't scream for attention. The one who understands that the best accessories are conversation starters, not conversation enders. This necklace works year-round. It's not seasonal, it's not trendy, it's just really well-designed jewelry that happens to be handmade by someone who cares about every knot.
