Vintage Black Onyx Earrings in Sterling Silver
Vintage black onyx earrings bring a graphic contrast to sterling silver that few stones can match. Onyx is a chalcedony quartz with a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, making it resistant to scratches and well suited for daily wear. The deep black color comes from carbon and iron inclusions formed over millions of years, often in volcanic regions of Brazil, India, and Uruguay. Our current collection features 7 pairs, priced from $730 to $2,281, each set in .925 sterling silver with natural, untreated onyx.

Natural Onyx Set in .925 Silver: 7 Styles Available Now
Black onyx has been carved into jewelry and protective talismans since ancient Mesopotamia. Romans wore onyx signet rings into battle, and Victorian mourning jewelry relied on its somber depth. The stone absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which creates that flat, matte-black surface prized in vintage and Art Deco designs. Every pair in this collection uses solid onyx, not dyed agate or resin composites. These earrings ship free within the United States and arrive in protective packaging. SilverRush Style has specialized in natural stone and sterling silver jewelry since 2005. If you want a stone that works as well with jeans as it does with evening wear, onyx delivers. Browse the 7 pairs below and find the weight and silhouette that fits your style.Frequently Asked Questions
Is black onyx a real gemstone?
Yes. Black onyx is a natural variety of chalcedony quartz. It forms in the gas cavities of lava and rates 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
How do you clean black onyx earrings?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can dull the stone surface over time.
Can you wear onyx earrings every day?
Onyx is durable enough for daily wear. Its hardness resists scratches, though storing earrings separately prevents contact damage with harder gems.
