Rectangular Black Onyx Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Ring

This one-of-a-kind ring features a rectangular, flat-topped black onyx cabochon set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. Positioned in a north-south orientation, the deep black stone is framed by a scalloped bezel that adds subtle texture and definition to the bold geometric form. Formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, this piece reflects the enduring character of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

The elongated north-south setting gives the ring a strong vertical presence while maintaining a refined, balanced profile. A double split shank provides both visual structure and lasting support beneath the setting, complementing the clean lines of the rectangular onyx. The proportions are intentional, creating a statement piece that remains comfortable for everyday wear.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, the ring is shaped and refined entirely within the studio. The scalloped bezel securely frames the flat-topped black onyx while adding handcrafted detail around the stone. Every component is formed using traditional silversmithing techniques, resulting in hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability and long-term wear.
