Striking in contrast and contemporary in form, this Oval Black Onyx Split-Shank Ring showcases a deep black gemstone at the centre of an elegantly sculpted design. The onyx's smooth, opaque surface creates a bold focal point, while its elongated oval silhouette introduces graceful proportions to the composition. The distinctive split-shank shoulders frame the dark centrepiece with two flowing silver contours, creating an open, architectural setting that balances the gemstone's strong visual presence.
Crafted in polished 925 sterling silver, the ring features a refined four-prong setting that securely holds the oval black onyx while preserving its clearly defined outline. The band divides into two slender, gently curved strands on either side of the gemstone, creating symmetrical openings that lend lightness to the overall structure. The cool, reflective silver contrasts beautifully with the onyx's deep, uninterrupted black surface, emphasising the relationship between the polished metalwork, open spaces and prominent central setting.
The distinctive combination of an oval black onyx, classic four-prong setting and gracefully divided split-shank shoulders gives this solitaire ring its individual character. Unlike an embellished gemstone ring, its visual impact comes from the contrast between the dark, smooth centrepiece and the clean architectural lines of the silver band. The open shoulders introduce depth without unnecessary ornamentation, creating a composition that feels bold yet beautifully restrained. Modern in expression and timeless in appeal, this design brings together sculptural simplicity, striking monochromatic contrast and refined silver craftsmanship — confident, sophisticated and quietly luxurious.
