Straight out of a shadowed fairy tale. The Elain black onyx ring sets a marquise-cut natural black onyx — deep, glossy and jet-black — at the center of a leaf-wrapped setting, flanked by smoky-gray and bright simulated diamond accents. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a luminous rhodium finish, it is a dark-fairy engagement ring for anyone who wants their romance woven with a little mystery.

A dark fairy in leaf and shadow
Delicate leaf motifs curl around the center stone as though the ring grew rather than was made, giving it a woodland, fae-touched quality. The marquise onyx points along the finger like a single dark petal, commanding quiet attention. It is a design for lovers of gothic fantasy and cottagecore alike — a romantic alternative to the plain solitaire that sits perfectly among our gothic engagement rings. For more ways to style a darker palette, our gothic wedding ring guide is full of dark-romance inspiration.
The natural black onyx
The center is natural black onyx — a variety of chalcedony, the fine-grained quartz carved into talismans and seals since antiquity. Its jet-black body drinks in the light and returns it as a smooth, glassy sheen, and at roughly 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale it is a firm, daily-wearable stone. The marquise cut, with its two tapered points, elongates the finger and gives the black onyx a striking, elvish silhouette. To understand the lore behind the stone, our guide to black onyx meaning is a wonderful starting point.
Smoky and bright accents
Trillion-cut gray accents flank each side of the marquise, adding depth and a mysterious, smoke-lit shimmer, while fine simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) bring a classic flash of white sparkle. Together they frame the onyx so the black center reads even darker and more dramatic, all at an accessible price.
Sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The ring is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium — the same precious white metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. Rhodium gives the silver a bright, mirror-white luster and adds a protective layer that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, keeping the ring looking freshly polished. The cool metal is the ideal setting for a jet-black stone and its leafy silverwork.
What black onyx symbolizes
Black onyx has long been worn as a stone of protection, strength and grounding, believed to absorb heavy energy and steady the wearer through change. On a dark-fairy engagement ring, that symbolism reads as a love that shelters and endures. If you are drawn to the meaning behind dark stones, our feature on black rings for women explores the styles and symbolism in depth.

Frequently asked questions
Is the black onyx natural?
Yes. The center is natural black onyx, a chalcedony quartz with a deep, glossy jet-black body, cut into a marquise and polished to a mirror finish.
What are the accent stones?
Trillion-cut gray accents flank the marquise for a smoky shimmer, alongside fine simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) that add a crisp flash of white sparkle. Together they frame the onyx and deepen its black.
Why a marquise cut?
The marquise has two tapered points that elongate the finger and give the black onyx a striking, elvish silhouette. It is what lends the design its dark-fairy, storybook character.
What is the leaf motif about?
Delicate leaves curl around the setting so the ring looks grown rather than built, giving it a woodland, fae-inspired feel that pairs naturally with the dark center stone.
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 helps the ring stay looking freshly polished.
