Fabiani Chevalier Ring with Black Onyx in Gold
The chevalier ring with central black onyx in 18kt yellow gold is also commonly called a signet ring. The central black onyx gives the ring intensity, a factor that, together with the yellow gold, makes this jewel elegant and unique.
Black Onyx
Black onyx is a volcanic stone that belongs to the quartz group, with truly spectacular properties. This stone can be cleaned by running it under water for one or two minutes. It is important not to leave it immersed as it contains iron.
Chevalier Ring as a Seal
This type of ring (anello da mignolo in Italian, chevalier in French and signet ring in English) has now become an ideal and perfect ring for anyone who desires it.
In the past, it was generally used to press wax and seal letters, identifying noble houses and families, thanks to the coats of arms that distinguished them (in every respectable historical film, there is a scene that encapsulates the purpose of the chevalier). Initially, it was made with inexpensive materials because it had only a practical function. Over time, starting from the Middle Ages, it became purely ornamental and was enriched with precious stones of all kinds. The more important the stone, the more prestigious the noble family.
If once this ring was worn only by men, today it has become a must-have, especially for women. It is the perfect ring to be worn on the little finger, and the family crest has been replaced by one's initials or personal logo. The ring band remains thin at the back and widens towards the front.
