Myself, I think of black as being a classic color you can’t go wrong with when making handmade jewelry. Today, I chose to focus on the Black Onyx gemstone. Of course there are many other black stones to choose from when making handcrafted jewelry but that’s for another post! Black gemstones are very versatile. I love the way they look when paired with Freshwater Pearls.

Black Onyx Meaning:

Onyx is a strength-giving stone, aiding confidence and useful for athletes or people under stress. Its energy is a mental tonic and can help you cope with fears and worries, making you feel in harmony with your surroundings.
