Brief information on black onyx ring
2010-06-16 17:34:00
The Romans believed that the goddess Venus was resting by the Indus River, and while Cupid was clipping Venus' fingernails, the clippings fell into the river, creating onyx. Black onyx has a long history of being used as a gemstone and its color and hardness make it ideal for carving cameos and other designs. It is said that onyx was once worn as a protective stone in battle, or as protection from evil. Another ancient use was to carve the head of the god Mars or Hercules into a figurine for courage.
Black onyx rings have various styles for many men and women of all ages and social backgrounds. They are produced in a variety of settings including gold, white gold, yellow gold, silver and titanium. Black onyx usually was made into the perfect rings with stones and settings each accenting the beauty of each other. Jewelers have mastered the marriage of settings and stones and the black onyx rings that are available today are without equal in appearance, durability and price.
If you want to show your love for your special person on the special occasions, such as birthday party, high school graduation, and wedding anniversaries and Valentine’s Day, you can give him or her black onyx ring instead of giving the same old gift. You can find high quality black onyx rings at local jewelry store and online vendor.
