Okay, quick take: to my knowledge there isn’t a straight-up item called an 'onyx bracelet' in Old School RuneScape that functions like a combat bracelet with fixed stats. What people usually mean when they mention onyx in OSRS is the gem itself (used for high-level jewellery) or high-end projectiles and gear that carry the onyx name. Because of that confusion, the useful way to think about 'best stats' is to decide what you want the bracelet (or jewellery) to do for your build.
If you’re chasing raw melee damage, prioritize strength bonus and the highest slash/crush/stab attack bonus relevant to your weapon. For ranged, seek maximum ranged attack/strength. For mage, magic attack and negative magic defence don’t help—focus on gear that boosts spell accuracy and power. Defence bonuses are secondary unless you’re doing tanking content. If your goal is PvP, look for a mix of offensive bonus and defence where needed, and for PvM prioritize damage-per-second and special effects.
If you actually meant an onyx-containing piece like a ring or amulet, compare its numeric melee/ranged/magic bonuses on the Wiki to other jewellery in slot — whichever gives the biggest offensive stat for your style is 'best.' If you want, tell me the activity (bossing, slayer, PvP) and I’ll point to exact swaps and cheaper alternatives — I love theorycrafting that stuff.

Alright, quick and blunt: there isn’t an item named 'onyx bracelet' in 'Old School RuneScape'. I dug through my mental item list and the Wiki in my head, and what you’ll actually find in-game is the gem 'uncut onyx' (a rare gem) and a handful of onyx-related uses — but not a bracelet explicitly called an 'onyx bracelet'.
If you were hunting for a bracelet-type jewelry with onyx in mind, it’s easy to get mixed up because gems and jewellery menus blur together. Typically you’ll either get an uncut gem as a monster drop or from clue scroll rewards, cut it with a chisel if appropriate, and then either set it into a piece of jewellery via crafting or sell it on the Grand Exchange. If you tell me where you saw the term — a clue scroll, forum post, or a plugin — I can help track down what that reference really meant.

Okay, quick and blunt: you can't imbue an onyx bracelet in Old School RuneScape because there simply isn't an 'imbued' version of that item in the game.
I get why people ask — imbuing is a familiar concept thanks to Nightmare Zone and the whole '(i)' suffix on rings and amulets. OSRS only allows imbues for a limited set of jewellery (mostly certain rings and amulets tied into Nightmare Zone rewards), and an onyx bracelet isn't one of them. If you were hoping to toss an onyx bracelet into some interface and get permanent boosted stats, that option doesn't exist right now.
If your goal is to get similar benefits, think about alternatives: craft the onyx bracelet normally (cut your onyx, use a gold bar at a furnace with a jewellery mould), buy a comparable worthwhile imbued ring or amulet from the Grand Exchange, or use other high-end gear that fills the same niche. And if you want to be 100% sure, the OSRS Wiki is your friend — it lists every item that has an '(i)' variant. Happy hunting!

Okay, here's the short-but-thorough version from my late-night crafting grind: no, you can’t magically turn a ruby into an onyx bracelet in OSRS. Gems don’t upgrade upward — a ruby stays a ruby unless you trade or sell it and then buy an onyx. If you want an onyx bracelet, you need an onyx gem (uncut), cut it with a chisel into a cut onyx, then use that with a gold bar and a bracelet mould at a furnace to craft the bracelet.
I learned this the slow way, watching my bank after a bossing session and realizing I’d been hoarding rubies like they were interchangeable. If you don’t have the gem or the crafting level to cut onyx yourself, the easiest path is buying a cut onyx or an already-made onyx bracelet from the Grand Exchange. That saves time and keeps your crafting XP for when you actually want to level it, instead of swapping gems around in hopes they’ll evolve.

Okay, I’ll be honest — I don’t have live market access from here, but I can walk you through exactly how to get the current price and give a sensible ballpark so you’re not guessing.
If you want the exact number right now, pop into the Grand Exchange in-game or open a price-tracking site like 'GE Tracker' or the 'Old School RuneScape' Wiki price pages. Those show the live buy/sell price and a handy graph of recent activity. In my experience, jewellery made from onyx tends to sit in the high hundreds of thousands to low millions of gp range depending on demand and whether it’s a crafted item or a finished piece. For a quick sanity check, compare both the buy and sell prices and watch the 24-hour trend — big spikes often mean a recent update or boss drop change.
If you’re planning to buy, set a buy offer slightly below the lowest listed sell price and be patient; if you’re flipping, pay attention to volume and the price graph on the tracker. That usually keeps my losses small and my flips predictable.

Man, the onyx bracelet sparks a surprising amount of debate in 'Old School RuneScape' circles.
Personally I treat it like a situational piece — not a go-to for raw melee power, but useful in oddball setups. If you’re chasing pure DPS numbers for bossing or Slayer, most dedicated offensive jewelry or amulets will edge it out. Where the bracelet shines is when you need a mix: a bit of survivability, a slot for utility, or when the cost of top-tier melee jewelry is out of reach. I’ve worn similar gear during grind sessions when I prioritized staying alive over squeezing out an extra hit every other minute.
If you’re experimenting, try it in a safe place first and compare your kill times and tankiness. For newer players it’s a decent stopgap; for veterans, it’s a niche choice. In short, don’t expect it to replace your best-in-slot melee items, but don’t toss it either — it has its moments depending on what you value more in a fight.

I tend to overexplain when I get into marketplace stuff, so here's the long, messy version that actually helps: the short truth is that the Grand Exchange sets a pretty universal baseline for prices, but player-to-player trade hubs and low-population worlds can produce noticeable deviations. In practice that means if you check the GE you'll see a stable median price for an onyx bracelet, but on any given world the price someone is willing to pay (or ask) depends on supply, demand, and the type of crowd hanging out there.
For example, high-pop trade worlds or the official Grand Exchange world usually have the tightest spreads and fastest matching — sellers accept close-to-GE prices because there are always buyers. Low-pop worlds, PvP-focused worlds, or region-specific evenings can push prices up or down: a seller trying to move a piece fast might accept less, while an isolated buyer who really wants it might pay a small premium. Timing matters too — after an update or during weekend playtime you’ll see shifts. I also watch bot activity and clan sales; a world with a sudden influx of sellers can depress prices for a few hours.
If you want a practical takeaway, I’d check the GE for the baseline, hop to busy trade worlds if you want fast, fair trades, and only try world-hopping or niche worlds if you’re hunting tiny arbitrage or in a hurry. I’ve flipped jewelry a few times and small spreads are where the safe profits live, but the real fun is spotting those odd little windows where demand spikes and people pay more — that’s when a bracelet suddenly feels worth twice what the chart says.

I was poking around the Wiki and the GE the other day and wanted to double-check something — short version: no quest in Old School RuneScape hands you an onyx bracelet as a reward. I dug through a bunch of quest reward lists and community guides, and it simply doesn’t show up in any official quest tables. That caught me off guard at first because lots of jewelry-like items are tied to quests, but this one isn’t.
So how do you actually get one? In my case I just bought one from the Grand Exchange because it was the fastest route. Players also trade them directly, and occasionally they turn up as rare loot from clue scrolls or other RNG activities. If you want to avoid the market, keep an eye on clue drops or check the Wiki for up-to-date drop sources — it’s saved me from chasing myths before, and it’ll save you time here too.
