Natural black obsidian with a gold sheen — one of the most visually striking obsidian varieties. The gold sheen is a natural optical phenomenon caused by gas bubbles trapped during volcanic formation, creating a warm metallic shimmer beneath the deep black surface. Available in four bead sizes from 4mm to 10mm, each with a noticeably different presence on the wrist. Polished round beads on an elastic cord — handmade, slip-on, unisex. Used across cultures as a protective stone and spiritual talisman.
Four Bead Sizes
4mm — The most delicate option — sits close to the wrist, minimal and stackable. Best for layering or for those who prefer subtle jewelry
6mm — A balanced size — visible without being heavy. The most versatile of the four
8mm — Substantial and noticeable — the gold sheen reads more clearly at this size. A strong everyday bracelet
10mm — The most statement-making size — bold, heavy, and unmistakably present on the wrist. The gold sheen is most visible here
The Stone
Black Gold Obsidian — Volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly. The gold sheen is caused by light reflecting off microscopic gas bubble layers within the stone — a completely natural effect, not a coating or treatment
Protective Properties — Obsidian is one of the most widely used protective stones across cultures — believed to absorb negative energy, ground the wearer, and create a shield against psychic and emotional harm
Buddhist & Spiritual Use — Commonly used as prayer beads and spiritual talismans in Buddhist and other spiritual traditions
