{"product_id":"sterling-silver-black-onyx-faceted-drop-necklace","title":"Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Black Onyx Teardrop Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack onyx has been worn as a protective stone for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks and Romans carried it into battle. Victorians set it into mourning jewellery as a symbol of strength and endurance. Across cultures and centuries, it has been held as a stone that absorbs and transforms negative energy, a quiet, steadying presence that asks nothing and gives a great deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx is a form of chalcedony, a microcrystalline variety of quartz, its deep black colour the result of iron and carbon present during formation. The stone is dense and smooth, with a depth to it that seems to draw light in rather than reflect it. Faceted, it reveals a different quality, each cut surface catching and returning light with a precision that gives the stone an unexpected brilliance, dark and luminous at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack onyx is associated with protection, grounding, and inner strength. It is said to work with the root chakra, anchoring scattered energy and encouraging a sense of stability and self-possession. It is often held as a stone for those navigating difficulty or change — not by softening what is hard, but by strengthening the person who faces it. It is also linked to focus and discipline, making it a stone as suited to daily wear as to moments that require steadiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant features a faceted black onyx teardrop measuring 40mm x 11mm at its widest point (stone measurement, not including wire), hand wire wrapped in sterling silver. The wire follows the contours of the stone, holding it securely while allowing its full face to remain visible. The elongated teardrop form gives the piece a natural elegance, slender and graceful, with a gentle movement when worn. It is suspended on an 18 inch fine silver curb chain, a classic, lightweight length that sits beautifully at the collarbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA piece with presence. Understated and quietly powerful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier.
