Rectangular Black Onyx Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant features a rectangular, flat black onyx cabochon set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The stone is framed within a gallery bezel that adds both depth and structural refinement while highlighting the clean geometry of the polished onyx. Oxidized to reveal the details of the silverwork, this pendant reflects the enduring character of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

Measuring approximately 1 inch in length, this pendant offers a clean, balanced silhouette that is equally suited for everyday wear or layering with other pieces. The crisp rectangular form and deep black onyx create a timeless, understated design with strong visual presence despite its compact scale.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, the pendant is shaped and refined entirely within the studio. The gallery bezel securely surrounds the flat black onyx while adding dimensional detail beneath the stone. Every element is formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, creating hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability and long-term wear.
