Inspired by the bold geometric designs of the Art Deco period, this elegant ring combines the deep black surface of onyx with the subtle sparkle of a centrally positioned diamond.

The polished onyx is framed by an ornate yellow gold setting with softly rounded corners and delicate decorative detailing. The contrast between the dark gemstone, bright diamond and warm gold creates a refined and sophisticated appearance.

Design & Craftsmanship:

The defining feature of this ring is its striking geometric composition.

A polished rectangular black onyx forms the centrepiece, with a single round diamond positioned precisely in the middle. The diamond creates a subtle point of brilliance against the deep black background.
The onyx is enclosed within an elegant yellow gold frame, featuring fine decorative borders and softly rounded corners that enhance its architectural appearance.
The split shoulders introduce an additional geometric element, connecting the central setting to the slim gold band.

The combination of strong lines, contrasting materials and restrained ornamentation reflects the enduring influence of Art Deco jewellery design.

Art Deco Influence:
The Art Deco movement, which flourished during the 1920s and 1930s, transformed jewellery design through its emphasis on geometry, symmetry and contrasting materials.
Black onyx was particularly popular during this period, often paired with diamonds to create striking monochromatic compositions.

This ring captures that distinctive aesthetic through its rectangular onyx centrepiece, single diamond accent and carefully balanced gold setting.

Its design offers the elegance of traditional Art Deco jewellery with a timeless appeal that continues to influence contemporary jewellery.

About Onyx & Diamond

Black Onyx is appreciated for its deep, uniform colour and smooth polished appearance. Frequently used in vintage jewellery, it provides a dramatic contrast when combined with precious metals and diamonds.

Diamond has long been valued for its brilliance and durability. The single diamond at the centre of this ring adds a delicate sparkle while maintaining the simplicity of the overall design.

Together, these gemstones create a classic combination associated with elegance and traditional jewellery craftsmanship.
