Black Onyx Ring

The black onyx gem stone is a type of agate, the gemstone is sturdy and durable and this makes black onyx jewelry easy to maintain. Another thing that makes men's black onyx rings popular is the fairly large sizes in which black onyx gems are available. Gem stone cutters love the gem stone as it is hard and easy to work with, simple cabachon cuts (non-faceted) are the most common when it comes to onyx gem stone rings. But you will also find interesting faceted cuts and even the multi faceted checkerboard cut for onyx gems. A custom made onyx ring would give you better flexibility and allow you to include your preferences in the ring. While you could have a yellow or white gold black onyx ring, most men's rings with black onyx are made in strerling silver. It is perhaps the attractive price tag of silver onyx rings that has made them very popular. If you are considering getting an onyx gem stone ring in gold, you will need to choose from white gold or yellow gold.

Jewelry buyers often believe that yellow gold is stronger than white gold, however this is not true. If you compared a 14k onyx ring in white gold with a similar black onyx ring in 14k yellow gold, the hardness of both rings would be similar. On the other hand, an 18k men's black onyx gem stone ring would be softer than a similar ring in 14k. Suffice it to say that, the hardness of gold decreases as the karatage goes up. So, 10k gold is softer than 14k gold which in turn is softer than 18k gold. Infact pure gold or 24k gold as it is referred to is so soft that, it is not normally used to make jewelry. Durability is of prime importance when talking about men's jewelry, 14k black onyx rings would be a better choice than 18k onyx gemstone rings as 14k gold is harder than 18k gold. This is because 14k gold has better hardness as compared to 18k gold. If you are thinking about a sterling silver black onyx ring, this gemstone has a lot of good things for you. The first is that, it is modestly priced so you could get a great ring at a price that will please you. Another good thing is that the gemstone can be had in fairly large sizes and can be cut to many fancy shapes. It is true that a custom onyx ring will be your best option, the ring would be made just for you and you will not be limited by design, dimensions or any other feature. One small suggestion is not to have the gem stone in your gold or sterling silver black onyx ring protrude too much out of the mounting. Some designers get overawed by the large sizes that this gem stone is available in. Onyx is sometimes cut very deep and with a high protrusion on the face. This is more suitable for a black onyx pendant but, not for an onyx ring. A protruding gem stone is more likely to get damaged through frontal physical impact.
