Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.
Cruelty Free
Animal tests are often painful and cause the suffering and deaths of millions of animals every year. Having this stamp of approval means that no animals were tested on, harmed or killed in the process of making the product. When you opt in for cruelty-free brands, you’re opting out of animal testing, and investing in clean products that are made for the benefit of your body, animals, and the environment.
In Greek and Egyptian Mythology, the Phoenix represents rebirth, renewal, and regeneration just as does our Onyx Phoenix Band Ring. The open band style is an interpretation of a soaring Phoenix rising again from itself to keep transforming for eternity. A symbol that brings joy, hope, and prosperity with new beginnings.
The three-tier textural stem band organically wraps around the finger and set with 14 tiny natural onyx stones at the center peak. It's special and beautiful worn alone, but also really dynamic when stacked together with the Onyx Stem Ring which nestles right into the opening. Use code: ONYXSET15 to take 15% off when you buy one of each and make it a set.
Stone Properties: Onyx is a strength-giving stone. It provides support in times of mental and physical stress and confusion. Onyx helps you connect to your higher whole self and facilitates being the master of your own destiny while balancing the yin and yang energies within.
Materials: 18k Gold Vermeil - Natural Onyx
Our vermeil is an especially thick layer of gold bonded over sterling silver. That's 2-3x thicker than standard plating. Because it's gold over silver (as opposed to commonly used brass) it's ideal for sensitive skin and has long-lasting shine and quality. We like to think of vermeil as the business class of golds.
Dimensions: 1mm Onyx Stones X 14 - 5.5mm Wide Band
To find your ring size at home, refer to our ring sizing guide here. This style runs true to size, however since it is an open band you have some extra wiggle room there too. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out, I'm happy to help!
