Did you know?
Originates from the Greek "Onyx" meaning "nail or claw".
In Egypt, researchers have discovered bowls entirely carved in onyx dating back to the IInd dynasty. Also widely used by the Romans, this black stone has been in great demand for many centuries.

But here, we'll focus on its aesthetic appeal rather than its virtues and history.

Black onyx stone is not originally black. It is treated by being immersed in a solution of black sugar and acid. The soft, porous nature of the stone allows the solution to soak in. After immersion, the stone is then heated. This is a common process that makes the color deeper and longer-lasting.

Thanks to its flat shape, you'll be able to stick it easily to all kinds of surfaces, such as settings, bags, shoes, primers...

To do this, you'll need hasulith or E600 plus jewelry glue.


Ideas for easy-to-make creations:

• For a ring: glue the puck with hasulith-type glue onto a silver ring and you're done!
• For a pair of earrings: select earstuds, then glue your puck.
  You can add chain, charms, tassels or feathers.
  The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination run wild!
  You'll need open rings to connect your charm or component to your stud.
• There are also spacer and pendant settings available if you wish to create your jewelry from scratch.
