I also had a black onyx ring and my high school class ring also was black onyx…

Upon the death of Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert (1861) jewelry styles turned much more somber to reflect her mourning and included jet, onyx and black glass. It also became popular to use the woven hair of a loved one as a keepsake in mourning jewelry.
