Each piece is made by hand in small numbers, so we render it rather than photograph a duplicate. The image shows the form, the material, the finish and the proportion — it is not a photograph of the exact piece you will receive, and natural stone varies from one piece to the next. Write to us and we will photograph the actual piece in stock, with its weight and measurements, before you buy.
Black Onyx Cube Bracelet
Segmented Trio · Black Onyx
Square beads that hold their shape on the wrist instead of spreading. Black onyx is chalcedony, a form of quartz with microscopic fibres rather than crystals, which is why it polishes to a mirror without a grain.
Black onyx is chalcedony, a form of quartz with microscopic fibres rather than crystals, which is why it polishes to a mirror without a grain. Most onyx in the trade is banded agate that has been dyed; the honest ones are cut from naturally black seams, which are scarcer and keep their colour rather than turning grey at the edges.
Beads cut square with flat faces and softened edges. Squares sit against each other on a flat plane, so a cube strand holds its shape on the wrist where a round one spreads, and it shows more of the stone per bead than anything round.
The strand is built in three repeating sections, divided by small spacers, so it reads as three bracelets stacked rather than one. It needs the beads sorted into three matched groups before anything is strung.
Sizing: the strand is strung on a doubled elastic core with a knotted finish, and it is made in three lengths — a snug 16 cm, the standard 18 cm, and a loose 20 cm. Beads are graded by hand before stringing, so the strand you receive is matched for size and tone from the first bead to the last. Every bracelet is strung to order in small numbers; if you would like the exact strand photographed before it ships, ask and we will send you the picture.
Care: Hard-wearing and easy. Avoid household acids and ultrasonic cleaners, which can pull the dye from treated beads.
