The Gem in Heat Black Onyx Necklace – Rhodium Vermeil merges molten sculptural form with the depth and intensity of natural stone.

At its centre, a faceted black onyx gemstone is held within a flame-like silver setting that appears to rise and flow around the stone. The glossy black surface creates a striking contrast against the luminous rhodium vermeil finish, balancing darkness with fluid metallic movement. Suspended at the collarbone, the pendant feels both elemental and refined — like a fragment of molten night captured in motion.

Crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and finished in polished rhodium vermeil, the necklace is completed with an adjustable cable chain for versatile styling and layering.

Handcrafted in Portugal, the piece reflects the signature Alan Crocetti aesthetic — sculptural, futuristic, and emotionally charged.

Design Philosophy

This piece explores transformation through material and movement.

The flame-like structure symbolises energy in motion, while the black onyx introduces stillness and depth. Together, the contrasting elements create a tension between softness and intensity — a recurring theme within the Gem in Heat universe.

Designed to sit closely against the body, the necklace becomes both adornment and object: fluid, protective, and instinctively sensual.

Stone Characteristics

Black onyx is valued for its depth, intensity, and natural grounding qualities.

Its smooth polished surface reflects light with a subtle mirror-like sheen, creating a dark luminosity that shifts with movement. Traditionally associated with protection, focus, and resilience, black onyx has long been worn as a stone symbolising inner strength and energetic balance.

Because black onyx is a natural gemstone, each stone contains unique tonal variations and subtle natural characteristics, making every necklace one of a kind.

Plated jewellery has a thin layer of precious metal over another solid metal, which can rub off with constant contact with your skin. Continual exposure to sweat, water, perfumes, and chemicals found in toiletries can tarnish plated jewellery. To extend the life of your plated pieces, follow these simple care instructions:

Always take your plated jewellery off before sleeping to avoid friction against your skin.
Keep your jewellery dry. If it gets wet, wipe it immediately with a paper towel.
Avoid contact with chemicals like chlorine, nail polish remover, soaps, or perfumes, as these can damage the metal coating.
Remove your jewellery before intense physical activity to prevent exposure to sweat.
Store each piece in a separate plastic bag to reduce tarnishing and prevent the thin plated layer from rubbing or scratching.

Frequently asked questions

All pieces are crafted in 925 sterling silver. Some are finished with gold plating for warmth or rhodium plating for extra brightness and protection.

YES. Alan Crocetti uses cultured pearls in natural white, pink, black, and lavender. Each pearl is unique and adds softness to the sculptural design. The brand also uses Mother of Pearl, valued for its iridescent glow and refined exclusivity.

YES. Alan Crocetti uses lab-created emeralds, rubies, moissanite, and diamonds. They have the same brilliance and chemistry as natural gems in their purest form, and are produced sustainably and ethically — affirming their place within fine jewellery.

Semi-precious stones are natural gems used for their beauty and symbolic value. In Alan Crocetti collections, these include:

• Amethyst (purple): creativity, protection

• Citrine (yellow): joy, abundance

• Topaz (blue/yellow): clarity, strength

• Onyx (black): grounding, power

• Peridot (green): renewal, growth

• Garnet (red): passion, vitality

Zirconia (cubic zirconia, CZ) is a lab-created diamond alternative. Alan Crocetti uses only 5A grade zirconia, the highest quality: flawless clarity, precision cut, and diamond like brilliance.

• Colours used: clear, black, blue, green, red, pink, purple, yellow.

Although sterling silver is a malleable metal, we do not recommend pressing, bending, or pulling pieces to adjust them. This can weaken soldering points, loosen stones, or distort the design.

Key Note: Each piece is handcrafted as a sculpture. If resizing or adjustments are needed, recommend professional service instead of forcing the piece.
