Black Onyx Egg Ring

Highlights

• The black egg motif provides the ring’s defining design detail.
• A Pave setting holds small stones close together so they read as a continuous sparkling surface.

Good to Know

• Onyx is a banded chalcedony often seen as a deep, even black with a polished, solid-colour appearance.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface.
• On rings that rub daily, the plated finish can wear through over years of wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid rhodium or plated?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), not solid rhodium. The alloy provides the base, while the plating forms the surface finish.

What does the listed stone size mean?

The 1.6 Mm stone size describes one accent stone. Because the Pave setting uses multiple small stones, the 0.13 ct figure is the total stone weight for all stones on the ring, rather than the weight of one stone.

How to Care for Your Black Onyx Egg Ring

1. Clean the piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the plating.
3. Ask a jeweller to re-plate it if the finish wears through after years of wear.
