A rich black, nearly opaque gemstone, onyx is a variety of agate. The pure black onyx is rarely found naturally, making it a coveted variety of the gemstone. According to mythology, while the goddess Venus one day slept, Cupid cut her fingernails. The clippings that lay on the ground were turned to stone by the gods and later became known as onyx.
A rock-like substance, coral forms in the sea. It is comprised of groups of particular types of coral cluster. Because of its warm orange-red hue, it is often used as a jewelry gemstone.

Softer than
other gemstone materials, coral requires attentive care. It should be
wiped gently with a soft, moist cloth. Onyx is a little more durable
and can be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water if necessary.
950
silver should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining.
Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep
your 950 silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your 950 silver to
abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.v
