For the one who never wanted the ordinary ring. The Skylar kite cut black onyx engagement ring set centers a bold, natural black onyx — deep, glossy and jet-black — cut into a striking kite and paired with a matching band. Handcrafted to order in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is a gothic-leaning statement set made for everyday wear.

Dark, dramatic and made to order
This set was designed for people who feel most themselves in black — the ones drawn to moonlit color palettes and a little edge in their everyday jewelry. The kite-cut onyx sits low and confident, its angular outline reading as modern rather than fussy, and the matching band completes a clean, stackable silhouette. It anchors our collection of black onyx engagement rings and slots naturally into our gothic engagement rings for anyone chasing a darker romance. To see why more brides are choosing black, our journal on black rings for women is a great read.
The engagement ring
Holds the kite-cut natural black onyx as a bold, angular centerpiece — the focal point of the set.
The matching band
A coordinating band that nests alongside the engagement ring for a complete look, and layers well with our black onyx wedding bands.
The natural black onyx
Onyx is a natural chalcedony — a microcrystalline quartz — long prized for its dense, even, jet-black body and glassy polish. This is natural black onyx, roughly 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, hard enough to stand up to daily wear. The kite cut, about 6 x 10 mm and around 1.4 carats, gives the stone crisp facets and a flat, mirror-like table that holds its darkness beautifully. To explore the meaning and history behind the stone, our guide to black onyx meaning is well worth a read, and its place in bridal tradition is traced in our journal on Victorian gothic engagement rings.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The set is crafted 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 shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, so the silver keeps its shine against the black stone and will not turn your skin green. With a comfortable everyday profile, it is a set built to be worn, not just admired.
Made to order and made to gift
Because each set is made to order, it arrives fresh with complimentary engraving of up to 16 characters — a name, a date or a short message tucked inside the band. It ships in a complimentary gift box with ethically sourced, conflict-free stones, ready for a gothic proposal, a promise or an anniversary with a bold twist.
What black onyx symbolizes
Onyx has stood for strength, protection and steady resolve for centuries — a grounding talisman for its wearer. That gives a black onyx engagement set real meaning beyond its striking looks, marking a partnership meant to endure. Its dark elegance is equally at home at a vintage-inspired wedding or as an everyday emblem of quiet confidence.

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. Onyx is a natural stone, so 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, creating a sharp, geometric shape. It is a sleek, modern alternative to round or oval cuts and gives the onyx a distinctly contemporary edge.
Does this come as a set?
Yes — it is a two-piece set with the kite-cut black onyx engagement ring and a matching band, designed to be worn together or separately.
Is it made to order?
Yes. Each set is handcrafted to order, which is why we can include complimentary engraving of up to 16 characters. Please allow a little extra time for crafting before it ships.
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. Genuine 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish will not discolor your skin. Green marks come from low-quality or plated base 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 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 an enduring partnership as well as a striking piece of jewelry.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. Because it is made to order, complimentary engraving of up to 16 characters is included. 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, and does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes on both counts. All of our stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free, and every order ships in a free gift box backed by our lifetime warranty.
