Natural Black Onyx Stones in All Shapes & Sizes

AfricaGems.com is proud to announce that it is expanding the selection of gemstones we carry. We will be offering more translucent and opaque gemstones to our all star line up of exquisite gemstones offered at wholesale prices.

Black Onyx is the latest gemstone to be added. Black onyx is a very versatile gemstone because it can stand alone or be used as the contrasting background for other gemstones like diamonds, yellow or pink sapphires, bright green tsavorite or emeralds or rich red rubies.


Black Onyx Jewelry
We have carried black onyx already set in gold or silver rings (see right) for some time now and now we carry loose calibrated black onyx ready for you to create your own fantastic jewelry creation to wear with everything. Being a neutral color, it works well with every outfit in your wardrobe and for every occasion. We even carry black onyx pre-drilled for inset of the color or white gemstone of your heart’s desire (see before and after sample shown bottom left).

Striking black onyx has been used for centuries in jewelry and was quite popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. Like most gemstones, its popularity seems to ebb and flow, but because of its versatility, it has been a staple in jewelry for thousands of years.

Natural Gemstones
AfricaGems.com carries standard sizes and cuts of black onyx; shapes like marquise, round, square, pear, oval, heart and more.  We also carry unusual barrel, checkerboard and kite fantasy cut black onyx (see upper left). The really good news about black onyx is that it is very affordable with prices starting at $15.
