A two-piece kite engagement ring set in gold. A 7 × 10 mm kite-cut black onyx sits point-up in four prongs on the center ring, with a black onyx marquise angled out from each shoulder and a tiara of simulated diamonds rising above it, and a double chevron band set with simulated diamonds nests under its lower point. 14K yellow gold vermeil over solid 925 sterling silver.

Kite Tiara Ring
A 7 × 10 mm black onyx kite in four prongs, with a black onyx marquise set at an angle on each shoulder and a crown of round and marquise simulated diamonds above the point, on a slim shank with a round simulated diamond at each side.
Double Chevron Band
Two V-shaped bands soldered together as one piece, each set with a line of round simulated diamonds, cut to follow the lower point of the kite so the band locks under the center ring without a gap.
The kite points up the finger and the two chevrons repeat its lower angle, so worn together the set reads as one tall crowned ring. Worn apart, the center ring is a kite solitaire with colored shoulders and the band is a double chevron stacker. The same design is made in natural peridot, lab-grown blue sapphire and black onyx. The fairy engagement rings guide covers the lane this shape belongs to, and non-traditional engagement rings covers the wider field.
The Black Onyx
The center is natural black onyx, a chalcedony quartz cut as a 7 × 10 mm kite with a flat step-cut face, so it reads as a single plane of polished black rather than sparkling. The two shoulder marquises are onyx as well. Against the warm gold and the white tiara the black reads as ink, and the kite's sharp lower point is what the chevron band is cut to follow. Our black onyx meaning post covers the stone's history, the black gemstones guide places it against the other black stones, and black rings for women covers how to wear it.
Metal and Stones
Both rings are 14K yellow gold vermeil: real 14K gold over solid 925 sterling silver. Our guide to caring for vermeil jewelry covers the finish, and what is gold vermeil explains what sets vermeil apart.
The center kite and the two shoulder marquises are natural black onyx. Every small white stone on both rings is simulated diamond (cubic zirconia). Our moissanite vs cubic zirconia post explains what that material does well and where it falls short of a mined stone.

Care
Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, working the brush around the tiara and between the two chevrons where lotion collects, then dry before storing. No silver polishing cloths or abrasive compounds, which thin the gold vermeil; avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chlorine and household chemicals for the same reason. Take the set off for the gym, swimming and heavy cleaning, keep the kite point clear of hard knocks, and store it in its box rather than loose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the onyx real?
Yes. The 7 × 10 mm kite center and the two shoulder marquises are natural black onyx. The small white stones on both rings are simulated diamond, which is cubic zirconia.
How many rings come in the set?
Two. The kite tiara ring and a double chevron band. The band is two V-shaped bands soldered together, so it goes on as one piece. Both ship together in one box.
How big is the center stone?
7 × 10 mm, kite cut, held in four prongs with the point toward the fingertip.
Does the onyx sparkle?
No. Onyx is opaque and step-cut, so it reads as a flat plane of polished black. The sparkle in the set comes from the white tiara and the chevron bands around it.
Is onyx a birthstone?
No. Onyx is not a modern birthstone, though it is a traditional stone for Leo and a seventh-anniversary gift.
Is onyx durable enough for everyday wear?
Onyx is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which suits regular wear with ordinary care. It is porous, so keep it away from bleach and solvents, and the kite point should stay clear of hard knocks.
Is it real gold?
Yes. Both rings are 14K yellow gold vermeil: a layer of real 14K gold over a solid 925 sterling silver core. There is no brass or base metal under it.
Will it turn my skin green?
No. The core is solid sterling silver and the surface is real gold, so there is no copper alloy to react with skin.
What are the small white stones?
Simulated diamond, which is cubic zirconia. We name it plainly: it is not diamond and not moissanite. Moissanite or lab-grown diamond accents are available as a custom order.
Can I wear the rings separately?
Yes. The kite ring stands on its own as a solitaire with colored shoulders, and the double chevron band wears alone as a stacker.
Do the two rings sit flush?
Yes. The chevrons are cut to the angle of the kite's lower point, so the band locks under the center ring without a gap.
What sizes are available?
Sizes 4 through 11, including every half size. Both rings are made to the same size.
Can I have them engraved?
Yes. Engraving is available on the inner band, up to 16 characters, and can be added as an option at checkout.
How do I care for the vermeil?
Put the ring on last, after lotion and fragrance, and take it off for swimming, showering and the gym. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, never a silver polishing cloth or an ultrasonic cleaner, and store it dry in its box.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All Aquamarise stones are conflict-free and responsibly sourced, and every order arrives in a free luxury velvet jewelry box.
