Black Tie in Antiparos Cross

Solid 14k Yellow Gold · Natural Black Onyx · Natural Diamond

Some things are simply better in black.

Meet the Black Tie in Antiparos Cross—a striking contrast of deep natural black onyx, warm solid 14k yellow gold, and a single genuine natural diamond at its center. Inspired by the understated elegance of Antiparos, this is a cross designed to feel timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly Hellenic Luxe.

Measuring approximately 15mm × 15mm, the cross is petite enough to wear every day while still making an unmistakable statement.

Hand-Carved Natural Black Onyx

What makes this piece especially beautiful is the craftsmanship behind the stone itself. Each cross begins with natural black onyx that is individually shaped and carved by our exceptionally talented lapidary.

A lapidary is a skilled artisan who specializes in the art of cutting, carving, shaping, and polishing gemstones. Rather than simply setting a pre-cut stone into gold, our lapidary carefully works the natural onyx to create the distinctive cross shape and smooth, polished finish.

This is detailed work that requires precision, patience, and an intimate understanding of the stone.

Because the onyx is natural and individually carved, subtle variations in the stone, shape, and finish are to be expected and celebrated. No two crosses will ever be completely identical.

A Diamond at the Center

Set at the heart of the black onyx is a genuine natural diamond—a small point of brilliant light against the dramatic black stone.

The cross is finished in solid 14k yellow gold, including its gold detailing and bail. This is real, solid gold—not plated, vermeil, or gold-filled.

Care Instructions

The Black Tie in Antiparos Cross is a piece of fine jewelry featuring natural carved stone, and it should be handled with care.

Black onyx can scratch, chip, or fracture if struck against a hard surface. Avoid dropping your cross or allowing it to knock against other jewelry, countertops, stone, or other hard materials.

We recommend removing your cross before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping, or participating in activities where the pendant could be struck, caught, or pulled.

Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, cosmetics, chlorine, salt water, household cleaners, and other chemicals. Apply beauty products first, allow them to dry, and put your jewelry on last.

To clean your cross, gently wipe it with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. When additional cleaning is necessary, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water and carefully dry the piece afterward.

Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, abrasive jewelry cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing compounds on the carved onyx.

When you're not wearing your cross, store it separately in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch to protect the natural stone from scratches and impact.

Each Black Tie in Antiparos Cross has passed through the hands of skilled artisans before reaching yours. Treat it as the little piece of gemstone artistry that it is, and it can be treasured for years to come.
