Onyx, the main stone of the black onyx necklace in rhodium-plated 925 silver, is a fascinating gemstone with mythological origins. Its name, derived from the Greek 'onux', evokes a legend in which Cupid transformed Aphrodite's fingernails into stone. Prized since ancient times, onyx has been used to create cameos and ornaments, and was mentioned by Pliny the Elder. In India, it symbolized protection, while in medieval Europe and China, it was associated with misfortune. Primarily mined in India, Brazil, Madagascar, and Pakistan, onyx is distinguished by its striated black color and unique patterns, making it a popular choice for jewelry. This stone, a variety of agate in the quartz family, forms in volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Composed of silicon dioxide, it has a trigonal crystal structure. Historically used for seals thanks to its wax-free surface, onyx is now prized for its elegance and versatility in jewelry, as demonstrated by our black onyx necklace in rhodium-plated 925 silver. With a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, it combines delicacy and strength, making this necklace a refined choice for any occasion.

To preserve the beauty of your black onyx necklace, we recommend storing it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Avoid acidic chemicals like detergents or vinegar. Monthly cleaning with warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth will be enough to maintain its shine. Onyx, known for absorbing negative energy, may require regular purification. To do this, soak it in distilled salt water, avoiding tap water. To recharge its energies, expose it to natural sunlight or moonlight, or place it on a quartz cluster or in an amethyst geode for a few hours.

Regarding the rhodium-plated 925 silver of your necklace, if the jewelry tarnishes, it may indicate that the rhodium layer has worn off. In this case, consult a jewelry store to apply a new layer of rhodium. For regular maintenance, clean gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding hard toothbrushes to prevent scratches. Avoid harsh chemicals and favor gentle, natural solutions. For professional maintenance, don't hesitate to visit a jewelry store to bring your jewelry back to life.
