Black onyx was particularly fashionable in Victorian jewelry, prized for its deep, uniform color and suitability for intricate carving. Although closely associated with mourning jewelry, onyx was also widely appreciated for its decorative versatility, particularly when paired with gold and enamel. The elongated proportions and restrained ornamentation of these earrings reflect the period's appreciation for classical motifs and the elegant contrast of black and gold.
