Description
Deep black shot through with a golden veil that ripples in the light, the gold sheen obsidian bracelet is probably the most luminous obsidian of them all. Shaped by hand from natural stones, it’s the bracelet for the days you want a little warmth and glow, without giving up understated elegance.
Gold sheen obsidian owes its shimmer to a natural optical effect: minute inclusions set into fine layers within the volcanic glass catch the light and create that characteristic golden glint. Every bead is one of a kind, the golden eye never falls in exactly the same place, or with the same intensity. To understand this variety properly, see my gold sheen obsidian guide.
In crystal healing, this variety shares the protective qualities of its black cousin while adding something more solar. It’s credited with an energy of self-confidence and inner warmth, linked to the root chakra for grounding and the solar plexus for willpower. It’s described as a softer, more enveloping obsidian, a lovely way in for anyone discovering the obsidian family.
Unisex and easy to live with, this bracelet sits as well on a woman’s wrist as on a man’s. The stretch cord slips on without a clasp and adjusts comfortably to your wrist. Wear it on its own, for the beauty of its sheen, or alongside other natural stone bracelets.

Handmade by Camille
Every bracelet is put together by hand in my studio, in France. I choose the gold sheen obsidian beads one at a time, holding them up to the light to find the ones where the golden eye is at its best, and check every finish, so that the piece arriving at your door is its own.
Gold sheen obsidian is one of my favourite varieties to work with, because it always has a small surprise in store. Two beads side by side never catch the light quite the same way. That’s what makes each bracelet genuinely singular. You can read the story of the studio here.
“I pick every bead by holding it to the light, so the bracelet has that small golden fire that shifts with the hour of the day. That’s the detail that made me fall for this stone.”, Camille
Care: a soft cloth is all it takes. Avoid salt, knocks and prolonged water, and take it off before showering or exercising. All my tips are in the care guide.
