The signature kite cut
The terms coffin cut and kite cut refer to the same geometric gemstone shape: an elongated hexagonal cut with a pointed top and bottom and angled side edges. On black onyx, that architecture becomes something striking — clean mirror-like facets that catch the light against a stone of pure, velvety black. It reads gothic in candlelight and modern in daylight.
Natural black onyx, honest and bold
The center stone is genuine natural black onyx — a stone treasured since antiquity as a talisman of protection, strength, and grounding. Its deep, even black makes it the most versatile dark gemstone you can wear: an accessible alternative to a black diamond, with a presence all its own.
Crafted to last, kind to skin
The setting and chain are solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, framing the dark stone in cool white light. Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic and will not turn your skin green.
Style it dark or keep it minimal
Wear it as the centerpiece of a gothic or witchy look, or let it be the single dark accent in an otherwise minimal outfit. It pairs beautifully with the Esme Gray Moissanite & Black Onyx Necklace for a layered moody neckline, and the kite silhouette echoes across our Skye Kite® Emerald Necklace if she loves the shape in color.

Skye Kite® Black Onyx Necklace FAQs
Is the black onyx natural?
Yes. The center stone is genuine natural black onyx, prized for its deep, even black color and glossy polish.
What is a kite cut?
The kite cut — also called a coffin cut — is an elongated hexagonal shape with pointed top and bottom and angled side edges. It gives the stone bold, architectural facets that catch the light beautifully.
Is this the same as a black diamond necklace?
The stone is natural black onyx rather than black diamond — a beloved, accessible alternative that delivers the same striking dark elegance with rich, even color.
What does black onyx symbolize?
Black onyx has been worn since antiquity as a stone of protection, inner strength, and grounding — a meaningful choice for anyone drawn to dark, symbolic jewelry.
Is the necklace solid sterling silver?
Yes. The setting and chain are solid 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish for lasting brightness and tarnish resistance.
Will it turn my skin green?
