The deeper story

Stone Story

Hardness and toughness are different properties in gemology, especially in onyx. At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale it's hard for ring wear and most fine jewelry applications. But it's the microcrystalline structure that gives onyx greater practical toughness, because interlocking grain boundaries distribute stress.

A Storied Heritage

The leverback finding developed in the 20th century alongside the widespread adoption of drop and dangle earring styles, as jewelers sought a wire closure that combined the natural hang of an open wire with the security of a positive locking mechanism. It remains the trade standard for fine drop earrings because it resolves that functional tension elegantly.
