Banded green, clean line
A pear-shaped green onyx with white zircon on a fine chain
A pear-shaped green onyx of about 9 by 6 millimeters with white zircon embellishments, on a 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender.
Fern holds a pear-shaped green onyx of about 9 by 6 millimeters at the centre of the pendant. The stone has a deep, even green with fine banding, so each piece has its own pattern when the light moves across it.
White zircon embellishments sit beside the green onyx, adding small, clear points that keep the green tone clean. Together the stones weigh about 1.37 carats in total, and the pendant sits neatly at the neck.
Fern is finished in 18kt yellow or rose gold vermeil, or in 925 sterling silver. It suits a May birthday, a spring outing or an everyday look, and it sits well with white shirts, grey knitwear and natural linen.
Light and even
A light chain that holds the pendant level
About 2.53 grams of metal in a light chain and pendant, on a 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender.
The necklace weighs about 2.53 grams of metal, so it wears lightly. The pendant hangs level at the centre of the chest, and the green stone stays in view as you move.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2-inch extender, so you can set the length for a crew neck, a scoop neck or a shirt collar. Yellow gold vermeil adds warmth beside the green, rose gold vermeil brings a soft blush and sterling silver keeps the tone clean.
The meaning of balance
Green onyx is often associated with balance and harmony, the steady sense of an even day in which work, rest and people all have their place. A deep green stone on a light chain is a calm way to carry that idea, so Fern suits anyone who values an even, unhurried rhythm. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give a May birthstone necklace to a friend whose birthday falls in spring. Others wear one as a small reminder to look for a steady middle ground when the week gets busy.
Choosing your finish
Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame beside the green, rose gold vermeil brings a soft blush, and sterling silver keeps the tone clean and cool.
Choose the finish that sits best with your other jewelry, and check the chain length before you order. The 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender adjusts to most necklines.
Caring for the onyx and finish
Green onyx can be scratched by hard, gritty surfaces, and a sharp knock can chip an edge. Lotion, perfume, sweat and chlorine can dull the stone and the vermeil. Remove the necklace before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise and sleep.
After wear, wipe the necklace with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the onyx, the white zircon and the finish.
Find your metal tone
Three finishes for the same green onyx necklace. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth, rose gold vermeil for a soft blush or sterling silver for a cool line.

Frequently asked questions
Is the green onyx natural?
Yes. Green onyx is a natural banded stone, and each piece has its own pattern and tone of green.
Is the white zircon natural?
Yes. White zircon is a natural mineral used here as a clear accent. It is not the same as cubic zirconia.
Is this a May birthstone necklace?
Yes. Green onyx is the traditional birthstone for May, and the necklace lists May as its birth month.
Is this necklace in stock now?
The necklace is sold as a standard item. Check the product page for the delivery estimate shown there before you order.
Are the finishes solid gold?
No. The gold finishes are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, thin gold layers rather than solid gold.
Does the necklace promise any effect?
No. Green onyx is often associated with balance and harmony, and those meanings are yours to choose. The necklace makes no promise of a particular outcome.
Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
Please remove it before swimming, showering or exercise. Water, lotion and chlorine can dull the stone's surface and the vermeil.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the stone and the finish.
