The ebony-black complexion and the waxy glow of a back onyx can never be overlooked. Black onyx is known for absorbing your internal negativity and protecting you from negative energy from the outside. So, what can be better than a black Onyx ring for your engagement to protect your love and relationship forever from negativities and challenges?
However, Black onyx’s exceptional beauty is often susceptible to dirt and gets defiled when used regularly as your engagement ring. To keep the beauty of the ring everlasting, regular cleaning and maintenance of your black onyx ring is important. It not only replenishes its shine but also sustains its natural beauty and integrity for a lifetime, just like your beautiful relationship.
Let the black onyx engagement ring take care of your negativity. Meanwhile, let’s explore some tips on how you can take care of your black onyx engagement ring.
How To Cleanse Your Black Onyx Engagement Ring?
If your fiancee chose a genuine black onyx ring or a black-stained agate ring for your engagement, in both cases, regular maintenance and cleansing are the same and necessary, too. Generally, a black onyx ring is not as strong as a diamond or corundum, but maintaining and cleaning it can last beyond your wedding years.
The accumulation of layers of dirt or natural oil over the surface can mar the smooth and lustrous surface of the black onyx engagement ring. This layer of oil or dirt creates an obstacle between the light and stone, thus making it lose its natural shine.
Follow these simple steps for cleansing your black onyx:
- First, buff the ring with a soft, pure cotton cloth before applying any polish, which will loosen up the dirt or oil accumulated on the stone.
- Saturate the cloth in lukewarm water and wring out the excess water to avoid fully being wet.
- You can hold the black onyx under clean running water in your hand for approximately 5 minutes to cleanse it thoroughly.
- Wipe the onyx stone softly using the damp cloth.
- Pat the onyx tenderly with another pure, dry cotton cloth.
You can also visit a certified jeweler yearly to have your black onyx professionally polished for better maintenance.
How Do You Handle Your Black Onyx Engagement Ring?
Black onyx must be handled with care, just as any other gemstone. We always recommend you handle your ring with its band and never with its actual stone. This will help protect your onyx from natural oil accumulation and other dirt often transferred from your hands.
How To Store Your Black Onyx Ring?
Black onyx is not as durable as diamond, so you must store it safely to avoid roughness and damage. A little scratch or mark can ruin the beauty of the entire onyx ring. The best thing you can do to store it safely is to keep it inside a separate softbox at room temperature. Storing your black onyx inside a soft velvet cloth separately can also be great.
What Are Some Black Onyx Ring Care Tips?
If you want to maintain and care for your black onyx ring, cleaning is not enough; you must be careful while wearing it and store it accordingly.
- We know a black onyx ring is hard to take out from your finger; however, the fragile stone needs to be protected from mechanical shocks, and you should avoid wearing it when doing your household chores. Why not keep it safely and re-wear it after you have done all your chores?
- Your body loves to soften with lotions, but not your black onyx engagement ring. Try to avoid applying lotions or perfumes while wearing your onyx ring. Once you’re done applying all your cosmetics, you can wear it again after a few minutes. While choosing your cleaning supplies to clean your black onyx, avoid anything harsh or abrasive. Always use soft options for your ring, like 100 % cotton cloth.
- You must avoid using cleaning products that have chemical ingredients like bleach or even ammonia.
