Cleaning of precious stones: attention to detail
Since ancient times, precious stones have been associated with different meanings depending on colour, shape or use, effectively making each stone a world in its own right, with unique characteristics and symbols.
However, there is a common denominator among them all: beauty.
Each in its own way is beautiful in its own diversity, and each deserves special care, to guarantee to show their colours and splendour at their highest level.
Onyx jewellery
Onyx is a stone of great charm, to which ancient populations have attributed great energetic and protective properties, and which in turn needs our attention to keep its innumerable qualities intact.
If it is affected by dirt and dust, the best way to clean it is to gently wipe it with running water on a microfibre cloth. Be careful though: being a porous stone, onyx must be dried carefully to prevent it from absorbing excess moisture!
