Our verdict
A $99 scarab necklace for someone who wants a symbolic black onyx pendant on a 24 inch necklace with a lobster closure. Look elsewhere if you need a gram weight, a stone size or a clearly named base metal before buying; the listing is thin on all three. The metal wording, 14k gold in one place and 14k Gold Vermeil in another, is the main caveat.
- Best for
- Someone who wants a black onyx scarab pendant on a 24 inch necklace at $99.
- Skip if
- You need a gram weight, a stone size or a named base metal stated first.
Why 3.6/5: Lifted by a clear single price, a stated length and closure, and the store's terms for pre-designed styles; held back by a thin spec sheet with no weight or stone size.
The scarab is the whole design of this JNCY necklace: the store calls it an ancient Egyptian symbol for good luck, encompassed in black onyx and 14k gold, on a 24 inch necklace. The spec lines name the metal as 14k Gold Vermeil, give an average width of 18.4 x 24.3 mm and list a lobster closure. It has a single variant at $99, so there is no size or metal to choose.

Options and pricing
There is one version: a single variant at $99 in 14k Gold Vermeil, 24 inches long, with a lobster closure. The listing offers no other metals, lengths or stone colors, and states that the necklace is not rhodium plated. The spec lines label it unisex and give its style as fashion. With only one option, nothing in the price changes.
How it compares
Among JNCY's other necklaces, the Sterling Silver Paper Clip Necklace lists $270 in sterling silver and the Diamond Cut Forzentina Chain Necklace lists from $402 in 14k yellow gold. Neither lists a stone, while this scarab piece is built around black onyx and lists $99 in 14k Gold Vermeil. It is also the only one of the three with a pendant rather than a plain chain.
Shipping, returns and warranty
JNCY ships by USPS at no cost and says most items are made to order, about two weeks, with an estimated ship date on the product page (FedEx 2Day is $25 on US orders and does not shorten production). A signature is required on engagement rings, made-to-order designs and orders over $1,500. It also ships to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, South Korea and the United Kingdom for a flat $50, with duties and taxes paid by the buyer. Returns: 30 days from the ship date for pre-designed styles returned unworn with their original documents, with a free FedEx label on US orders; the FAQ page says 7 days instead, so confirm before relying on 30. Warranty: free lifetime repair or replacement of manufacturing defects and two free cleaning visits in the first year; wear and tear, lost stones and clearance items are excluded.
Before you buy
JNCY Jewelers is a Miami jeweler whose domain was registered in 2020. Independent feedback is thin: a ProvenExpert page lists three ratings, all 5.00, from Facebook and The Knot with no review text, and searches on 19 October 2026 found no Trustpilot or BBB page for the store. JNCY's own pages disagree in places: the refund window is 30 days on the Refund policy page and 7 days in the FAQ, and the custom-bridal page says it offers no financing while the financing page lists several plans. Payments accepted include major cards, Affirm, Shop Pay and PayPal.
What we liked
- Black onyx scarab design with an average width stated as 18.4 x 24.3 mm
- Single price of $99 with no options to compare
- Length (24 inches), closure (lobster) and plating status (not rhodium plated) are all stated
- The metal is named in the spec lines as 14k Gold Vermeil
Worth noting
- No weight in grams is given, so the heft of the pendant is unknown
- The description says 14k gold while the spec line says 14k Gold Vermeil, and no base metal is named
- Only one length and one metal are offered
- The listing does not describe how the onyx is set or give a stone size
Questions before you buy

Can I return it if I change my mind?
JNCY's Refund policy page gives 30 days from the ship date for pre-designed styles returned unworn with their original documents; US orders get a free FedEx label and international buyers pay return shipping.
