ECLIPSE EARRINGS BLACK ONYX/GOLD

Hand-carved black onyx framed in polished gold for a striking statement.

The Eclipse Earrings in Black Onyx + Gold by Silk & Steel are a beautiful statement pair that really deserve to be seen. Inspired by vintage European jewellery, each earring features a hand-carved natural black onyx stone set within a softly structured square frame, creating a bold silhouette with a beautiful contrast between the deep black stone and warm polished gold.

The natural onyx is the feature that immediately catches your eye. Each stone has its own character, while the square setting gives the earrings a more structured, architectural feel. Black onyx has long been associated with strength, protection and grounding, giving the design a sense of meaning alongside its strong visual appeal.

The earrings are crafted from premium stainless steel with thick 14k gold PVD plating, creating a warm, polished finish. Despite their statement size, they're designed to remain lightweight enough for everyday wear, making them just as easy to pair with a simple shirt or knit as they are with evening tailoring or a dress.

Wear them on their own and let the natural black onyx take centre stage, or pair them with the Meridian Necklace for a coordinated Silk & Steel look.
