Description
The black obsidian and sterling silver bracelet, the protection stone in a more precious setting, dense, matte black obsidian, set off by solid 925 silver beads that catch the light exactly where the stone absorbs it. A bracelet that keeps all of obsidian’s understated character, with a touch more shine. Handcrafted from natural stones, this is the one you wear when you want meaning and fine material at once.
Sterling silver, also called 925 silver, is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver, the ratio that gives the best balance between shine and durability. Unlike plating, which wears off over time, sterling silver keeps its quality for the long run, as long as it’s cared for regularly. It’s the material I use for every metal bead on this bracelet.
Paired with black obsidian, silver creates a contrast in material rather than a contrast in meaning: both have a reputation for restraint and durability, but one absorbs light while the other reflects it. The result is a bracelet that stays true to obsidian’s protective, grounding spirit while gaining polish and finish, better suited to an occasion, a gift, or simply anyone who prefers fine materials day to day.
In crystal healing, black obsidian keeps all its traditional properties here: protection against outside tension, grounding at the root chakra, help setting clear boundaries. Silver, for its part, is traditionally linked to clarity and intuition, a lunar metal, in many traditions, that rounds out obsidian’s earthy stability with a touch of lightness.

Handcrafted by Camille
Every bracelet is assembled by hand in my workshop, in France. Pairing obsidian with silver calls for special attention to the polish of the metal beads, I choose each one for its shine, making sure none has a finishing flaw that would throw off the balance with the stone.
I design this bracelet for anyone who loves obsidian but wants something a bit dressier for an occasion, a gift, or simply a taste for finer materials day to day. Silver never replaces the stone, it accompanies it. See also the matching ring, or the story of the workshop.
“Obsidian never needed to be dressed up to be beautiful. But silver gives it a different look, better suited to an evening out or a gift.”, Camille
Care: a soft cloth is all it takes for the stone; for the sterling silver, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume and cosmetics, and polish it now and then with a suitable cloth to keep its shine. All my care tips are in the cleaning guide.
