Origin & History

Black Onyx

Black Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz found in:

• India
• Brazil
• Uruguay
• Mexico
• United States

In ancient times:

• Romans used Onyx for courage and protection in battle.
• Middle Eastern cultures carved it into amulets for grounding and emotional stability.
• Ancient Egyptians associated Onyx with strength and renewal.

The faceting in these stone beads reflects its natural high silica structure, creating a deep glossy shine.

Freshwater Baroque Pearl

Freshwater pearls originate primarily from:

• China
• Japan
• The U.S.

Baroque pearls are loved for their organic, imperfect shapes — each one a one-of-a-kind creation.

Historically, pearls symbolized:

• purity
• wisdom
• feminine healing
• prosperity
• lunar energy

This specific pearl has a gorgeous natural iridescence—blush, silver, and soft rainbow tones caused by layers of nacre.
