I was recently given the opportunity to review an onyx bracelet from Medu Jewelry. The bracelet has a sterling clasp and has 10mm round onyx. The bracelet measures 7" and is hypoallergenic. I do not own a piece of onyx so this was a nice piece to add to my jewelry collection.
Onyx is a member of the quartz family, and more specifically of the chalcedony group. This is a type of fibrous quartz that displays bands of color within a gemstone. Even more specifically, onyx is a variety of agate, which displays fibrous bands in white and black, sometimes with gray, although most often the stone is dyed so that it appears pure black. While black onyx is the most famous, there is also Sardonyx, which features slim red bands running through the black stone.

My Opinion: I like the piece as it is different than what I already own. The clasp is a little hard to open but when I put it on it fits just fine.
Medu offers a free jewelry program with each month you are a member you will get free jewelry where you just pay the shipping cost of $6.99 but the piece you get is worth $100-$200. That's a great deal and who doesn't need more jewelry!
