Durability

  • Black Spinel Semi-Precious Stone Beads (Round Faceted): Black spinel is a durable stone, resistant to scratches and general wear. However, it can be prone to chipping if dropped or exposed to high-impact conditions. Handle with care to maintain the beads’ pristine appearance.
  • Golden Miyuki Glass Beads (Round): Miyuki glass beads are high-quality and resistant to general wear, although they may scratch if exposed to rough surfaces.
  • Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel Lobster Clasp: Stainless steel is tarnish-resistant, durable, and well-suited for daily use. It will maintain its shine and function with proper care.
  • Nylon Cord: The nylon cord is strong, flexible, and moisture-resistant. However, it may become deformed if crumpled or stored improperly.

Suitability

This necklace is suitable for:

  • Casual Wear: Durable for daily use, but should be stored properly to preserve the condition of the spinel beads and cord.
  • Daily Wear: Comfortable for everyday use, with hypoallergenic stainless steel and a sturdy nylon cord. However, avoid exposure to water or rough conditions, as this may impact the beads and nylon cord.
  • Special Occasions: The sleek black spinel and golden accents make this necklace an elegant choice for semi-formal or formal events.

Storage

  • Store in the provided box or hermetic bag to protect the jewelry from dust, moisture, and scratches.
  • Keep the necklace separate from other jewelry to avoid abrasion or damage to the beads and clasp.

Cleaning

  • Wipe the beads and metal clasp with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove any oils or dust.
  • For the stainless steel clasp, use a jewelry cloth for gentle cleaning and to maintain its shine.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the spinel beads, as this could cause scratches or dulling.

Nylon Cord Care: Avoiding Deformation

  • Avoid crumpling or storing the necklace in ways that prevent the nylon cord from laying flat or hanging properly. This can lead to deformation.
  • Restoring Shape: If the nylon cord becomes deformed, gently stretch it by hand or run the necklace under warm (not hot) water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid using high heat, as it may damage the nylon.

Additional Tips

  • Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning products, as these can tarnish the beads or metal clasp over time.
  • Handle the beads gently to prevent chipping, scratching, or fading.
  • Store the necklace in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the beads and cord.

Black Spinel – The Stone of Protection and Renewal

Black Spinel, a lesser-known gemstone, is a member of the spinel family, often overshadowed by more famous gems but valued for its deep, lustrous black color. Naturally occurring in octahedral crystals, black spinel is found in deposits across Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Lab-cultivated black spinel provides an accessible alternative, offering the same deep color and quality without the need for mining.

Etymology

The name “spinel” comes from the Latin “spina,” meaning “thorn,” due to the sharp, pointed shape of its crystals. Black spinel doesn’t have a specific historical name but is often simply referred to as “black spinel” to denote its color. Other names known for Spinel are Pleonaste, Ceylonite, Nin, Black Stone.

Cosmic Junction

Black Spinel aligns with Saturn, symbolizing discipline, protection, and renewal. It resonates with the root chakra, promoting grounding, security, and a sense of belonging. Its metaphysical properties include:

Ancient Egyptian Magic: Although not specifically black spinel, spinels in general were used in amulets, believed to protect the wearer from harm and negative energies. Black spinel could be seen as an extension of this protective quality.

Medieval Europe: Spinel was sometimes mistaken for ruby and used in royal regalia. Black spinel might have been valued for its protective attributes, especially in times of war or danger.

Hindu Mythology: While not directly referenced, the properties of black spinel align with the themes of protection and grounding, akin to stones associated with Saturn in Vedic astrology, which could offer spiritual protection and karmic balance.

Tibetan Buddhism: In this tradition, black stones, including spinel, are used for their protective qualities, particularly in the form of malas or prayer beads, aiding in meditation and spiritual grounding.
