Before you choose
How to choose a band
Comfort-fit is not optional
A domed interior wears all day; a flat one leaves a mark by noon. Every band we make is comfort-fit inside, whatever the outside profile.
Width changes the size
A 5 mm band wears a quarter size smaller than a 2 mm one. We size to the exact band you order, not a generic mandrel.
Full eternity is forever, literally
Stones all the way around cannot be resized, only remade. If your size moves, choose a half eternity and keep the option.
Match the wear, not the wedding day
The band outlives the photos. Choose the profile that feels like nothing, then the stones.
The short answer
Black onyx bands at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $1,080, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Absolute matte black chalcedony, the quietest stone we set. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words.
About black onyx
Absolute matte black chalcedony, the quietest stone we set. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
CHOOSING THE STONE
Start with hardness
Black onyx is 7 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Fit before beauty
Wide bands wear a half size small. Size on the exact width you will order.
Then the look
Decide plain, textured, or stone-set by how the other rings on that hand are finished.
Is black onyx good for bands?
Black onyx is 7 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A band is worn every hour of every year. Comfort-fit interiors and low profiles earn their keep.
Which birthstone is black onyx?
Black onyx is the None birthstone and the traditional stone of the 7th anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Are these stones treated?
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
How much do black onyx bands cost?
Today, one work at $1,080. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
How long until it arrives?
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
What if it does not suit?
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition, in the slate box. Resizing is free for life on rings, and any stone we set can be reset into a new mount as taste changes.
