Description
The OZA necklace is an elegant artisanal jewel that combines a rectangular gold plate of 9k or 18k (40x4mm) with a sterling silver backplate. It is complemented by two semicircular pieces of onyx (40×20 mm) and red jasper (25×12 mm), and a gold-plated sterling silver chain.
Its design features simple shapes with a geometric flair, balancing color contrast and highlighting the original mix of materials. This creates a piece with a distinctive and natural style. The gold plate adds a touch of luxury, while the red jasper and onyx imbues a sense of passion and mystery.
Each OZA necklace is unique due to the natural variations in its gemstones, as well as the artisanal crafting process. Therefore, you may encounter slight differences in measurements compared to the images you see on our website. These variations add charm and ensure that your necklace is special.

My visit to Belén Bajo’s studio during Christmas 2021 is still vivid in my mind. The studio was beautifully decorated with vibrant colors and textures, perfectly harmonized with Belén’s jewelry designs. Under the watchful gaze of Lola, an enchanting mannequin that seems to come to life with her captivating beauty, Belén and her team guided me through her latest collections, and each piece emanated energy and positivity.
During our conversation, Belén shared her journey from Fine Arts to jewelry design, drawing inspiration from art and nature. Discovering the stories behind certain stones deepened my appreciation. Now, I cherish Belén’s jewelry not only for its design, but also for the love and care she infuses into each piece, as I witnessed during my enchanting visit.

MATERIALS:
Gold 9 k or 18k
Gold 9k or 18k: Pure gold, which is 24 karats, is a soft metal. To increase its hardness, it is mixed with other metals through a process known as “alloying.” 18-karat gold contains 75% pure gold and 25% a mix of silver and copper. 9-karat gold contains 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% silver and copper.
Onyx is a variety of black agate, composed of silica and of volcanic origin. Its name comes from the Latin “onyx,” which means “nail.” According to Greek legend, Eros cut the divine nails of Aphrodite and scattered them on the sand, turning them into stone to preserve their power.
Jasper is a variety of microcrystalline quartz of volcanic origin. Its color is due to the multiple inclusions deposited during its formation. It often exhibits a wide variety of veins, circles, and color blends. The word “jasper” comes from the Greek “iaspis,” which means “spotted stone.
Red Jasper is an opaque variety of jasper that owes its red color to its high content of hematite. It originates from Madagascar.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: It’s important to care for and protect your jewelry from knocks and scratches. To prevent scratching, store your pieces separately in a box or jewelry case where they won’t come into contact with each other.
Additionally, keep your jewelry in a dry place away from direct sunlight, as many natural stones are delicate and can deteriorate if not properly cared for.
Soaps, detergents, creams, and perfumes can damage both the metal and natural stones. Therefore, it’s best to avoid using these products while wearing your jewelry.
Special care is recommended for 18k gold-plated jewelry. Gently clean the piece with a microfiber cloth, avoiding the use of coarse fabrics. As with all jewelry, avoid contact between the metal and makeup, perfumes, creams, detergents, gels, and cleaning products in general. Sweat can also damage the plating, so it’s best to avoid wearing your jewelry while exercising.
Always store your jewelry in a case or jewelry box, protected from sunlight and moisture, to prevent oxidation.
By following these guidelines, the gold plating on your jewelry will last longer. However, please note that plating is a thin layer of 18k gold covering silver, not a solid surface. Over time, the jewelry may need to be replated, which is a common occurrence with any piece from any luxury brand.
