How to Wear RingsGEMOLOGY
Onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is itself a form of microcrystalline quartz. Onyxes have straight, nearly parallel bands or layers of colour, which allow skilled gem carvers to cut away material to create cameos and intaglios. Since Onyxes have very thin colour layers, sometimes dyes may be used once the gemstone has been cut and shaped, to produce a uniform colour. Dyes can be used to enhance or change the colour completely. Chalcedony is extremely porous, so it readily absorbs dyes. Black Onyxes are dyed by soaking greyish slabs of chalcedony in a sugar solution and then heating them in sulfuric acid.
Onyx has spiritual properties that improve mental strength and expel excess, unwanted energy. It is said to be able to help break bad habits, take charge of destiny and guard against negative energies.
Diamond simulants are laboratory-made diamonds, usually created from ceramics. They will often be of a more perfect cut, colour and clarity than the real deal. Unlike cubic zirconia, diamond simulants are internally flawless.
Ruby simulants do not necessarily share the same properties as the stone they mimic. These stones simply imitate the colour and this can be done in a lab using a number of different minerals and physical and chemical processes. Most commonly, synthetic spinel is used to mimic a variety of different stones.

You can easily determine your own ring size with a measuring tape or a cord. To measure, simply place the cord (or the measuring tape) around the finger where you want to put the ring. The point along the cord where the tip meets should be marked. Ensure that the cord is snug around your finger, but not tight and compressing the skin, as this will cause your ring to be too tight.
