"Faceted Black Onyx and Sterling Silver Chain. Clasp and Chain are Sterling Silver. (Matching Earrings available) These pieces can vary from the picture, but all are beautiful and one of a kind. Donna Bella knows the name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that the goddess Venus was resting on the banks of the Indus River. As she slept, Cupid used the point of one of his enchanted arrows to give her a manicure. The parings of her nails then fell into the waters of the sacred river. Since the nails were of heavenly origin, they sank to the river bottom and were metamorphosed into onyx. Onyx is said to heal old emotional wounds. This is probably due to its tendency to enable the wearer to obtain wisdom and understanding from life’s strife. Black onyx can help one change negative habits. It imparts confidence and ease in surroundings." Location: Hand-Crafted Size: Necklace is 16-18" adjustable. Weight: 1.5 lbs. Quantity Available: 10 Price: $50.00 |
