AAONYX is an homage to the eternity of stone. Formed millions of years ago, these precious items will be here long after we are gone. The Greek word for eternity is AION, AEON, or EON. The ancient Greek word for night is NYX, so AAONYX is the eternal night. Stones don't age, tarnish, or decay, so in some ways, they've figured out something we haven't.
I'm Father Dimitri and I'm a Greek Orthodox priest. For me, creating jewelry is one of the ways in which I get to express my love of and appreciation for the world that God has given us; it's my creative way of thanking Him for the earth's incredible beauty. Stones, trees, and mountains are very much alive, and I created AAONYX jewelry so that we could share in their richness and life. Gemstones have been used from the beginning of civilization to convey greater meaning to one's life; I'm just giving it my own spin.
25% of the profit will be donated to two charities present all over the globe, 'International Orthodox Christian Charities' (IOCC), where I worked before entering the priesthood; as well as 'Orthodox Christian Mission Center' (OCMC). Each item sold will mean something to the customer, to AAONYX, and to those we help. Looking forward to getting you some beautiful custom jewelry.
Love,
Fr. Dimitri
It is, of course, possible to ask to remove, add or switch metals. We can also change the colors of the stones in a bracelet. Keep in mind that we can only do a custom bracelet with the stones/metals and designs that you currently can find on the webshop.
If you are interested or you have more questions about the above, you can send us an email to dimitri@aaonyx.com
You can purchase custom AAONYX bracelets at the Crystal Fox in Laurel, mD
HOW DO I KNOW MY WRIST SIZE?
We do have a page where we show you how to measure your wrist.
Keep in mind that you should not add 'space' yourself to your wrist measurement. If you want the bracelet loose on your wrist, simply write loose when checking out.
The average wrist-size for men is a 17.78cm /7 inches
The average wrist-size for women is 16.5cm/ 6.5 inches
Keep in mind that we do need a wrist-size otherwise, we cannot fulfill your order. If you need any assistance, you can always send us an email (info@aaonyx.com).
When you have placed an order, it will take three business days to assemble your bracelet(s). For more information about this process, you can read the confirmation email you have received.
When your bracelet(s) is/are ready for shipment, you will receive an email with the track and trace code. If you didn't receive a track and trace code, it is possible the email ended up in the spam folder. If this is also not the case, please send an email to info@aaonyx.com so we can track your order for you and give you all the details regarding its status.
Keep in mind that we need to have a wrist-size and a correct delivery address to fulfill your order.
Of course, we understand that it can be a little tricky getting the size right the first time. However, we would love to resize it for you.Please send an email to dimitri@aaonyx.com for proper assistance on this matter. We will guide you with the steps to follow!
We do not advise our customers to go into the shower with the bracelet. If you wash your hands, please be careful with soap on the bracelet. It can chemically react to the silver/gold. Nothing will happen if you take it on and off every day. Also, nothing will happen if it's in touch with water only! If you have a Silver bracelet, you can clean that from time to time with a Silver Cleaning Cloth. If you have a gold bracelet, you can clean the gold with a glasses cleaning cloth.
Exchanging bracelets is possible. You have 30 calendar days (starting from the day you receive the item) to return the bracelet(s) for an exchange. Also, the bracelet must not show any signs of usage and the tag needs to be attached.
The fastest way of making the exchange is to return the bracelet that you currently have. As soon as it arrives here, we will issue a full refund (minus $10 restocking fee). In the meantime, you can purchase the bracelet you like :) Please send an email to info@aaonyx.com for proper assistance.

1. Using a flexible tailor’s tape, measure the circumference of your wrist by fitting it right above the wrist bone. If you do not have tailor’s tape, we offer a printable tape that you may use to measure your wrist.
2. Match this measurement to the correlating row on our Size Chart, below. For example, a wrist measuring just over six inches would correspond to a woman’s medium.
3. AAONYX bracelets are crafted for maximum style and comfort, and our artisans ensure that our bracelets allow for extra room on your wrist. However, if you are on the cusp between two sizes, you may select the smaller size for a tighter fit, or larger size for a looser fit, depending on your preference.
4. For additional sizing, or questions regarding your measurements, please contact our Client Care Concierge for further assistance at info@aaonyx.com.
