Simple, timeless black and gold earrings
I don't even wear black, or at least I try not to because it is not in my color palette, but I kept looking at these earrings and decided to buy them. I like the simplicity of the design and the teardrop of onyx at the base. The teardrops are faceted so there is a little sparkle to add interest. Can be worn anywhere, anytime. Excellent craftswomanship and very reasonably priced. I have other jewelry from this artist.
Known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, onyx was used in Egypt as early as the Second Dynasty for bowls and decorative items. You'll even find the stone in distinctive chess sets. It takes pride of place in Novica's Onyx Earrings Gallery.
Onyx is found abundantly in Chihuahua, Oaxaca and Puebla, providing Novica's Mexico artisans with sleek black onyx to combine with silver for maximum contrast. For a stylish ensemble, chic black handbags accentuate onyx earrings, bracelets or a handcrafted necklace.
Novica's onyx earrings reflect distinct, artistic styles by gifted designers and artisans worldwide. Our onyx earrings are generally made from sterling silver and many feature styles such as dangle, drop, chandelier, and floral. We hope you enjoy them!
