In classical ceremonial magic, the image of the head of the god Mars or a figure of the hero Hercules was engraved on onyx and carried for courage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx is not only used for protection, but also as defence against negativity consciously directed towards you. It can help you be the master of your destiny and strengthen your confidence. It provides support in difficult times and centers your energy in times of mental or physical stress. It also offers the gift of wise decisions. Contemporary authors say the onyx brings increased vigor, strength, stamina, and self control. It alleviates worry, tension, and nervousness and eliminates confusion and nightmares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small stones set into the silver that look like diamonds are marcasite. The Incas famously used highly polished marcasite and pyrite to craft ornate mirrors, plates, and decorative items. According to legend, it was also one of Cleopatra's favorite gemstones, with Egyptian royalty cherishing its lustrous, sun-like energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcasite is most famous for its popularity during the Victorian era. When Prince Albert died in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a long period of mourning and wore strictly muted, subdued jewelry. Marcasite served as a perfect, understated alternative to opulent diamonds. In the 1920s it re-emerged as a gem of choice in the Art Deco jewelry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is an Art Deco reproduction and is a great everyday ring to wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made out of sterile silver, and it is marked on the inside of the shank for metal purity and manufacturer's trademark. The shank is marked 925 and CW. No information is found on the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe onyx is oval and measures 16mm x 13mm, and the centre has five (5) rose cut marcasite stones that measure 1mm round.
