Geometry with a gothic soul. The Skye Kite® black onyx engagement ring set centers a sharp, kite-cut natural black onyx — deep, glossy and jet-black — balanced on a slender band with a matching ring to complete the stack. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is a minimalist, dark-romance take on the engagement set for anyone who finds beauty in shadow.

The kite cut, reimagined in black
The kite cut is all angles — four clean edges that taper to points, so the onyx reads like a polished shard of midnight set on the finger. It is sleek, architectural and refreshingly unconventional, a shape made for people who want their engagement ring to look like nothing else on the block. Explore more of the silhouette in our kite cut black onyx engagement rings, or browse the wider world of black onyx engagement rings to see how the stone carries across cuts. For the story behind dark-stone bridal jewelry, our journal on Victorian gothic engagement rings traces the aesthetic from history to the modern day.
The engagement ring
Holds the kite-cut natural black onyx as a bold, angular focal point — the statement piece of the set.
The matching band
A slim coordinating band that nests alongside the engagement ring for a complete stacked look, and pairs well with our black onyx couples rings.
The natural black onyx
Onyx is a natural chalcedony — a microcrystalline form of quartz — valued for its dense, uniform jet-black body and glassy polish. This is natural black onyx, roughly 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, durable enough for a ring you wear every day. Cut as a kite, its flat facets hold a deep, even darkness that plays beautifully against the bright rhodium silver around it. To understand why the stone has been treasured for centuries, our guide to black onyx meaning is a rich starting point.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The set is handcrafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium — the same precious metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. That rhodium finish gives every ring a bright, mirror-white luster and a protective, tarnish-resistant shield, so the silver stays crisp against the black stone and will not turn your skin green. The band is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, with a comfort-fit profile for all-day wearability.
A gothic-alternative engagement set
Onyx has long stood for strength, protection and steady resolve, which makes a black onyx engagement set a meaningful choice as much as a striking one. It suits alternative brides, vintage-inspired weddings and anyone drawn to a witchy or gothic aesthetic. Because onyx is also a classic fall and October favorite, you can read more about its seasonal ties in our October birthstone guide.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are happy to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. To keep the onyx and rhodium finish bright, remove the rings before showering, swimming or applying lotions, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and store them in the box when not worn. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine.
Frequently asked questions
Is the black onyx natural?
Yes. The center is a natural black onyx, a form of chalcedony quartz with a deep, even jet-black color and a glassy polish — a genuine natural stone, never glass or plastic.
What is a kite cut?
A kite cut has four tapering edges that meet in points, giving a sharp, geometric silhouette. It is a modern, edgy alternative to traditional round or oval shapes, and it suits onyx’s bold darkness perfectly.
Does this come as a set?
Yes — it includes the kite-cut black onyx engagement ring plus a matching band designed to nest alongside it for a complete stacked look. Each can also be worn on its own.
What metal is it made from?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches.
What does the rhodium finish do?
Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright shine and adds a protective layer that keeps the ring looking freshly polished against the dark onyx.
Will the silver turn my finger green?
No. It is genuine 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish — hypoallergenic, nickel-free and non-discoloring. Green marks come from low-quality metals, never from real sterling silver.
Is black onyx durable enough for daily wear?
Yes, with normal care. Onyx sits around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, so it wears well day to day. Avoid hard knocks and remove the rings for rough activities to keep the polished surface pristine.
Is this a good gothic or alternative engagement ring?
Absolutely. Its dark, angular design makes it a favorite for alternative brides, gothic and witchy aesthetics, and vintage-inspired weddings that want something bold and unconventional.
What does black onyx symbolize?
Onyx is associated with strength, protection and grounded confidence, making it a meaningful emblem for a resilient partnership as well as a striking piece of jewelry.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. You can add a personal engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
What size should I order?
Select your ring size at checkout. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All of our stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free, so you can wear your set with complete peace of mind.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free elegant ring box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.
