Description

As mentioned seven times in the Bible, onyx is a powerful ancient stone, believed to provide protection from evil. The Persians, Indians, Romans and Greeks all used it as a talisman, rubbing its smooth surface to give them the focus and courage they needed to go into battle, and the good fortune to come out the other side. Rachel Entwistle named the ring after Apollo, prophetic god of the Delphi Oracle, and one of the original "averters of evil". The teardrop shape of this silver signet ring echoes onyx's cave origins - drops of water falling from stalactites, evaporating over the centuries to create a mineral-rich stone. Clean, modernist lines give this onyx ring a classic, timeless quality that is equally at home for men and women. Store your jewellery pieces individually so they don't scratch, keep your chains fastened so they don't become tangled and close hoop earrings. Silver and gold vermeil jewellery will naturally tarnish and oxidise with time and wear. Storing your jewellery in a sealed plastic bag will keep out the air that causes oxidation. We advise not to swim, or shower while wearing gold vermeil jewellery, and remove rings when washing your hands. Chlorine, saltwater, shower products, perfume, hairspray, lotions and deodorant can tarnish your jewellery (especially gold vermeil) and make them look dull. Avoid sleeping in pieces as they will have increased wear and pressure. We plate sterling silver jewellery with high micron hard gold plating. Gold plating is a surface layer and will wear over time. Earrings and necklaces tend to get less wear than rings.
