Black Onyx and Stainless Steel Beaded Necklace for Men

Round beads, a dark stone, and steel that does not need to be taken off. The strand sits close to the collar and works as an everyday layer under an open shirt or on its own.

Beads and Metal

The strand is built from 4mm black onyx beads with stainless steel, a pairing that keeps the necklace dark and matte against the steel highlights. A turquoise version is also available if you prefer a lighter note between the black beads.

Stainless steel was chosen for the metal parts because it resists tarnish and holds up to daily wear.

Size and Water Resistance

The necklace measures 19.68 inches, or 50cm, which places it just below the collarbone on most men. It is waterproof, so showering, hand washing and rain do not require taking it off, and the finish does not need polishing to stay even.

Engraving

An engraved pendant can be added to the strand for an additional cost when the necklace is added to the cart. That turns a plain beaded piece into something that carries a name, a date, or a short line of text.

Styling Notes

The onyx and steel combination is subdued enough for work and clean enough to wear with a plain tee. It layers well under a chain necklace without crowding the neckline, and the 4mm bead keeps the profile "sophisticated" rather than heavy.

Care

Warm water and a mild soap are enough to clear skin oils from the beads, then a soft towel. Skip ultrasonic cleaners altogether, and keep the strand out of a drawer with other jewellery so the beads are not scratched in storage.
