This beautifully handcrafted silver necklace has fine quality black onyx gemstones as embellishment. Ancient Roman soldiers wore onyx talismans engraved with heroes such as Hercules or Mars, god of war as they believed that the stone would make the wearer as brave and daring as the figured carved on it. During the Renaissance, onyx was believed to bring eloquence upon the wearer and was regarded with great value by public speakers and orators. This gemstone is also believed to help in eliminating apathy, stress and neurological disorders. It is a perfect gift of love and a much-priced possession.
