There’s something intriguing about these hand cut and polished matte onyx bricks. The fact that they are cut in parallelograms makes them unusual…at least in my mind. (If you play Scrabble, take note of the word parallelogram – could be just what makes you the winner!) Something about them feels very Art Deco to me with a slant. (Oh, man, perhaps I should not be writing copy today!) The matte finished is the perfect contrast to the various sized glistening Czech glass fire-polish faceted beads in jet. The onyx beads are bold – about ¾”all around and really create an impressive look. The necklace measures 19” in length and closes with a large sterling silver rope wrapped hook. The one inch extender gives wearing options.

I’ve also styled it with a Judith Ripka leather piece that I got many moons ago. Looks edgy but very pulled together. This is a great layering piece. Made in the USA of domestic and imported components. From the Tanya Lochridge Jewelry Trunk Show Colleciton.
