Collection: Onyx Gemstone Beads

At Melbourne Gemstone Beads, we curate our Onyx range for designers who require consistency and depth in their materials. As a foundational stone in jewellery making, Onyx offers a reliable base for both minimalist and statement designs. Our collection is regularly updated with fresh cuts and varieties—if your preferred style is currently out of stock, check back soon as we frequently refresh our signature black and green Onyx inventory to meet the needs of Australian artisans.

A Spectrum of Contrast and Texture

Vibrant Green Onyx: A translucent, emerald-hued variety that brings a sophisticated, luminous quality to fine jewellery and high-end artisanal pieces.

Classic Black Onyx: A perennial favourite known for its solid, opaque finish; we aim to keep a variety of cuts in stock, from matte rounds to high-polish wheels.

Maker-Ready Shapes: Our range includes precision-faceted rondelles for light-catching detail, as well as smooth cubes and organic chips for a more contemporary, architectural aesthetic.

Design & Pairing with Green Onyx

While Black Onyx is a master of contrast, Green Onyx offers a rich, lush palette that pairs beautifully with a variety of other gemstones in your collection:

The “Lush Garden” Palette: Pair Green Onyx with Rose Quartz. The soft pink and vibrant emerald tones create a classic, feminine contrast that feels fresh and romantic.

Tropical Vibrancy: Combine with Sunstone orCitrine. The warmth of the orange and yellow stones makes the green appear more vivid, perfect for high-energy summer collections.

Deep Forest Tones: Mix Green Onyx with Labradorite. The dark, moody flash of Labradorite adds a mysterious edge to the bright clarity of the Onyx.

Modern Crispness: Pair with White Moonstone. The transparent and white stones act as “light-reflectors,” allowing the internal glow of the Green Onyx to take centre stage.

Bespoke Sourcing for Melbourne Designers

We photograph our Onyx strands in true-to-life lighting to accurately represent their unique saturation. As a Melbourne-based boutique, we manage all inventory locally and ship quickly across Australia, ensuring you have access to premium, hand-selected components the moment they are available in our studio.
