Sterling Silver Black Onyx Shield Pendant, Ricky Ortiz

Bold and timeless, this Ricky Ortiz pendant showcases a deep black oval cabochon—likely onyx—set in sterling silver with classic handcrafted detailing. The stone is framed by a serrated (sawtooth) bezel and encircled with layered rope and scalloped silverwork, creating depth and texture while keeping the focus on the rich, mirror-like surface of the stone.

The substantial setting and clean silhouette reflect Ortiz’s traditional silversmithing style—balanced, weighty, and built to last. At just under 3 inches tall, it wears as a strong standalone statement or anchors beautifully in a layered pearl stack.
