Onyx and Silver Necklace

I am not a huge fan of Onyx for the most part, I think it can look a bit like plastic when it’s very polished, but I recently came across a strand that I could not resist. Large ovals of faceted matt onyx called to me… and I bought them!

I attached them to some heavy silver rings, to lighten the look and break the onyx up and used a really substantial Sterling Silver toggle clasp. Once it was made up I could not part with it and so have kept it for myself! It looks fantastic with a white T-shirt and jeans and even though it’s quite heavy and dark, I have worn it a lot through the summer (what summer??).

Because it’s not always possible to stock the same stones on an ongoing basis I don’t always add everything I make to the Twinkleberry site, so if you are interested in a necklace like this please contact me at jenni@twinkleberry.co.uk.
