All natural stone is porous and can absorb moisture from the environment or your skin. Over time, you may notice dry or matte patches, especially if the piece is stored away or not worn often.
Wearing your stone regularly helps maintain a soft, even sheen. To refresh a piece that has not been worn in a while, rub it lightly on the back of your neck for a few seconds. The warmth and natural oils restore its lustre.
For deeper conditioning, apply a light, odourless oil such as castor oil. Rub a small amount into the stone with your fingertips, let it absorb for a few minutes, then wipe away any excess with a soft cloth. This brings out the richness and character of the stone without affecting its natural feel.
Over time, your stone piece will develop a quiet patina, reflecting the life it shares with you.
