ONYX AND CINNABAR
OPERA
NECKLACE

This dramatic 42-inch, opera-length necklace contains 14 mm. round and faceted onyx beads, seed onyx and carved red cinnabar in a variety of sizes and styles including a large 50 mm. round  pendant.

Onyx is said to repel negativity and assist in grounding and centering, improve instincts and self-control, stimulate wise decisions, and encourage happiness and good fortune.

The word, cinnabar,  is derived from the Eastern Indian word for dragon’s blood. Cinnabar is a stone, but these carved pieces are either wood or resin or a combination of both. Most cinnabar pieces in jewelry are not stone, as it contains mercury.
