Our verdict

85 / 100

A small-studio piece that reads as chosen rather than grabbed. The copper and onyx pairing also has a ready-made story for a seventh anniversary, which gives the gift a reason beyond looks.

Best forSomeone who likes earthy, handmade jewelry over shiny catalog pieces.
Best occasionBirthday, Christmas, 7th wedding anniversary
Avoid ifSkip it if she only wears gold or silver tones, since the antiqued copper is deliberately warm and dark.
