14K White Gold Onyx & Diamond Circles Ring

Set the trend with a spellbinding circle design. This ring is crafted in polished 14K white gold, and features one onyx inlay. It twinkles elegantly with 78 full round cut diamonds in pave settings. The total onyx weight is 5.62ct and the total diamond weight is 0.65ct (both approximate). The diamond color is I-J with a clarity of I2-I3. The setting size is 7/8" x 1/2" with a height of 1/4".

Circle lore:
Virtually every culture has a similar yet distinct meaning for the circle. This design has been repeated in jewelry, art and architecture since the beginning of time. Amongst many things, the circle embodies concepts such as eternity and movement of time. The zodiac, a celestial sphere, represents the perpetual movement of the planets around the sun.

The circle also represents ideological concepts of perfection, potential and totality. Many Native Americans enter a sacred circle at the beginning of a powwow as part of a commencement ritual. Like many other cultures ancient and modern alike, they believe the circle represents a life cycle—a continuum of life and death. In this circle we find a connection to humanity as a whole.

Part of the Gem Treasures Collection. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.


Onyx    


Onyx:

Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz that features a fine texture with a smooth black color. Some onyx can display white bands or ribbons against black or brown backgrounds. Mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay, most onyx today is color-enhanced to increase its depth of color. It ranks a 6.5 on the Mohs Scale and is an ideal stone for carving. In fact, it is a favorite material of lapidary artists.

Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word “onux,” which means fingernail. Legend says that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of her heavenly body would ever perish. In Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony were called onyx. Later, the Romans narrowed the term to refer to only the black and dark brown colors, while the reddish brown and white onyx became known as sardonyx. Highly valued in Rome, sardonyx was especially used for seals because it was said to never stick to the wax. Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio was famous for wearing sardonyx.

Worn during mourning in the Victorian age, onyx is now traditionally given as a 7th wedding anniversary gift. It is thought to increase happiness, intuition and instincts. The stone is also believed to cool the yearnings of love and decrease sexual desire.
