The story: Typically, dome or “bomb” rings have a domed pattern and are part of the typical designs of the 50s and 70s, just like gadroon rings. They are characterized by their ovoid curves and shapes and their design that is both imposing and feminine. This one, with its original design and onyx setting, is a departure from the classic designs of the bomb ring. Onyx stone, on the other hand, has a rich and fascinating history dating back to ancient times. Used by various civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, onyx was often carved to create amulets and jewelry. Its deep black color has led to its association with protection and mystical power. In the esoteric tradition, onyx is considered a stone that promotes focus, emotional balance, and inner strength. In addition, it is often used as a symbol of protection against negative energies. Over time, onyx has maintained its reputation as a gemstone associated with wisdom and stability, embodying timeless elegance in the gem world.
