Black Earrings in Sterling Silver  

Natural Black Gemstones Set in .925 Silver Settings

Black gemstones carry distinct mineral properties worth knowing. Black onyx ranks 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it resistant to daily wear. Black spinel measures 7.5-8, placing it among the more durable options for earrings. Obsidian, a volcanic glass rather than a crystal, sits at 5-5.5 and benefits from careful handling. These hardness ratings affect how each stone holds up over years of use. The collection includes studs, drops, and dangles in weights suited to comfortable wear. Sterling silver settings provide a cool-toned metal base that amplifies the depth of black stones without competing for attention. Since 2005, SilverRush Style has sourced stones from verified suppliers and set them in solid .925 silver, never plated or filled metals.
