Our Story
Like most things, Emerald + Onyx began with an insatiable need for more.
More challenge.
More growth.
More connection.
More reciprocation.
More honesty.
More love.
I wandered into the world of cosmetology starry eyed and blissfully naive. Over the years, I’ve met so many life changing people and let love in all forms shape me into the woman I owed to myself and those who poured love into me on my best and worst days alike. So much of Emerald + Onyx is for and because of them.
The beloved Emerald is a captivating gemstone that symbolizes prosperity, growth and new beginnings. This rich, deep green gem has served as a symbol of hope, foresight and rebirth for centuries. This new journey is our Emerald. A prosperous new beginning, rooted in love and servitude for the betterment of all. She beams with hope and excitement for what is to come and reminds us that this is just the beginning of something bigger than all of us.
Protective and grounding Onyx is regarded as a stone of balance, believed to reduce stress and ward off negative energy. For us, Onyx represents the fragile balance of polarities, as often our passion is perceived as an art of outward beauty, though we strive to nurture inward beauty first and foremost through self-care, self-love and compassion. Onyx teaches us the beauty of divergent thought, rejecting the idea of good or bad, and instead embracing that all things are both. Here, you will always be safe to be both. After all, you are our Onyx.
Emerald + Onyx was born a symbol of partnership, mutual love + respect and trust. It’s a reminder that everything is on purpose, and acknowledges that without you, there is no us. From the most inward parts of my soul… Thank You.
All my Love,
Siarra
