Black Onyx
Are Black Onyx rings without the masonic emblem still considered masonic?

No stupid answers please. My son found a Black Onyx ring that he wants to keep but I'm not sure if he should because it could belong to some fraternal organization such as some masonic order or another.

Not likely. No group can lay claim to all uses of a particular stone. Black onyx is probably used for masonic jewelry (and other jewelry with emblems embedded in the stone) because it is a hard stone that is dark (it makes a nice background for emblem) and takes a polish well (it is shiny).

Besides, masonic jewelry is made of other stones as well (other than black onyx). See http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/glossary/glossary_a.htm

"Agate
A fine grained natural gemstone with variegated colors, in stripes, cloudy or moss-like forms. The most common is the banded or striped agate. Among the varieties of quartz known as agate, is black onyx often used for cameos and intaglios. The carnelian or red agate is prized for beads and intaglio seals. Moss-colored agate or gray-striped agate from Scotland was very popular during Victorian times while Brazilian agates and those mined in India contributed to requirements for mass-produced jewelry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."
