“Onyx is the poetry of the earth carved in stone, a testimony to timeless beauty.”
THE MATERIAL.
Onyx is a semiprecious stone valued for its unique beauty and decorative properties. Its banded structure, typically in black and white, but also in other colors such as brown, red and green, creates fascinating visual effects. Onyx is a striking stone because of its striations and colors. The contrasting and often parallel bands of onyx create natural and intricate patterns. This visual feature makes each piece of onyx unique.
When polished, onyx has a smooth, shiny surface that reflects light, adding depth and brilliance. Some types of onyx are also slightly translucent, allowing light to pass through and create a luminous effect.
Onyx can be cut and shaped into a variety of shapes, making it ideal for a wide range of uses, including jewelry, sculpture, decorative tiles, and interior wall coverings.
The combination of intense colors and the ability to be finely polished give onyx an elegant and luxurious appearance, making it a popular choice for high-end furnishings and decorations.
Onyx has a long history of use in art and architecture. It has been used in ancient civilizations to create decorative artifacts and sacred objects, giving it a historical and cultural value that enhances its appeal.
Because of its characteristics, onyx continues to be a popular choice for both personal use and interior design projects, contributing its natural and sophisticated beauty.
Each centerpiece is unique in shape and size based on the unique characteristics of the stone.
SYMBOLOGY
According to legend, this gem was created when Cupid cut the nails of sleeping Venus and left them scattered on the floor. Because the parts of a divine creature are not mortal, the deities turned them into a gemstone, which was later called Onyx.
The Latins, on the other hand, renamed onyx “marmor alabastrum” in reference to the Alabastra fortress of Thebes, an area on the central periphery of Greece particularly rich in quarries. In ancient Rome, this stone was widely used for glyptics (the art of carving) since, thanks to the different layers of color from which it is composed, clear reliefs were obtained that were clearly visible against the dark background: just think of the many cameos made from onyx that have come down to us.
