Men love black onyx and this can be seen in the wide range of black onyx rings, pendants and even cuff links that dominate the offerings for men's jewelry. With the basic understanding that, men prefer dark gemstones it might seem obvious that this black gem casts it's spell on men. When you think about dark colors, you could not expect anything to compare with black after all. While common logic might explain why men prefer dark gems, we would like to put black especially black onyx, on a different level. Move away from men's jewelry for a moment and think about the number of men's suits, tuxedos, waist belts and shoes that are bathed in black. So while black is quite prominent in men's clothing and accessories, you do not see men go all black do you. They contrast these with probably a white shirt or a pale blue shirt or even a pastel pink shirt, you might see black shoes contrasted with white socks. It is quite common to see a white silk or linen handkerchief popping out of a man's black suit. So then what we can safely conclude is that, men seek contrast in what they wear.
With men's black onyx jewelry, the desire for color contrast is quite easily accomplished by the metal that complements the black gemstone. Silver, platinum, palladium and white gold are all white - and the black-and-white contrast is clear and bold. Choose black onyx yellow gold for men's jewelry and the contrast between the yellow metal and the black onyx stays right there - probably a tiny shade warmer. And though men's pink gold jewelry has entered the mainstream of men's jewelry, the metal would not place any obstacles to the color contrast between metal and black stone either. What this means is that, men's black onyx jewelry with just about any metal option would satisfy the primary requirement that men seek from their jewelry - a stark color contrast.
We are not aware if men think as deep as we jewelry stylists do but, here is another winning situation that black onyx finds it's way into. Imagine, a dark, opaque black gem set in a metal that has to be surely very much lighter than the stone, this jewel would look stylish and groomed on just about any skin tone. Most black onyx jewelry for men is crafted with smooth (cabochon) cut onyx gems, there is opacity and no inner facets or visible inner inclusions to distract. The light that hits the stone from upfront need not enter the stone and do those reflection and refraction stunts, it just confidently echoes off the surface of the stone. This subtle attention puller reminds you of a successful man, confident, quiet and organized.

If you choose our men's onyx ring with any such belief, you might want to request for the black onyx in your ring to touch the finger from inside. Believers in crystal and gemstone healing often believe that, a direct contact between skin and gem enhances the properties of the stone.

We would recommend that, the silver onyx cuff links be left unplated, this will make them easy to maintain, clean and polish in the long term. While we can provide gold plating in all three gold colors for the silver cuff links, you should know that any plating done on silver wears off after some time. Remember that both gold and silver are precious metals, they help raise the standard of any accessory that is deigned and crafted with them. Stainless steel might be cheaper but, the value associated with them is quite low. Find more details for these men's cuff links here.
