Black Onyx ring "Honorine" - 925 silver

"Honorine" black onyx ring in 925 silver - Oval cabochon Description of the black onyx ring in 925 silver from the Honorine collection Black onyx was a highly sought-after stone throughout the Mediterranean basin during Antiquity. Entirely cut onyx bowls have been discovered in Egypt dating from the 2nd Dynasty (approximately -2850 to -2700 BC). In Crete, sardonyx was widely used, especially in the design of the Palace of Knossos: sardonyx is a variety of chalcedony composed of layers of onyx and sardony. It was described by Pliny the Elder, the Roman naturalist of the 1st century AD; this one defines two varieties and details several methods to change the color. In India, it had the reputation of protecting against the evil eye, while in China it was deemed to bring bad luck. In more contemporary Europe, it is a stone that was very successful in England during the reign of Queen Victoria, its color being associated with the mourning long worn by the Queen. Its name comes from the Greek "onyx" meaning "nail" or "claw". It is a stone composed of mainly black and/or white bands, but other colors are possible. The bands are arranged concentrically and circularly. The main deposits currently being mined are in Chihuahua in Mexico, in Rio Grande Do Sul in Brazil, in the states of Colorado and Utah in the United States, in Uruguay, Madagascar and India. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is 6.5 to 7, making it a medium hard stone, less hard than quartz.
