The use of onyx as a precious stone for building, art, and carving predates modern history. In fact, Biblical accounts of this precious, eternal mineral include its presence in the Garden of Eden.

Now you can bring a piece of this artful history into your own home. Our decorative Onyx Ornaments have been lovingly crafted with the same care taken by the ancient stone craftsmen who outfitted royal quarters centuries ago. Each piece is uniquely shaded and shaped by hand.
