Description
The men’s black obsidian necklace, the volcanic stone worn without detours, a raw or semi-polished black obsidian, on a leather cord rather than a fine chain. No delicate pendant, no frills: the stone alone, almost as it comes out of the ground. Handcrafted from natural stones, this is the one you wear without ever taking it off.
A men’s necklace isn’t just a scaled-down women’s necklace. Here, everything is different by nature: the genuine leather cord replaces the fine chain, the stone gains in volume and keeps some of its raw texture rather than a perfect polish, and the sliding clasp lets you adjust the length in one motion, with no lobster clasp to fiddle with.
Obsidian remains the same volcanic stone, a natural glass born from lava that cooled too fast to crystallise, but presented in its most direct form. Some stones keep one raw face, barely smoothed, that recalls the source rock rather than a worked piece of jewellery. It’s a deliberate aesthetic choice: the stone stays identifiable as mineral, not as accessory.
In crystal healing, black obsidian keeps its reputation for protection and grounding. Worn as a necklace rather than a bracelet, it’s traditionally associated with an effect closer to the chest and the breath, useful, by tradition, in moments when pressure rises and you need to find a fixed point. It’s a piece many men wear continuously, day one, without ever thinking about it.

Handcrafted by Camille
Every necklace is assembled by hand in my workshop, in France. For this model, I select stones that keep part of their original texture, not so raw they’d cut, not so polished they’d lose their mineral character. It’s a balance I look for stone by stone.
This necklace was born from the same request as the men’s bracelet: something solid, unadorned, that doesn’t look like a display-case piece of jewellery. The leather cord and sliding clasp are the direct answer, no fragile parts, a one-second adjustment. See also the men’s black obsidian bracelet, or the story of the workshop.
“A men’s necklace shouldn’t be noticed before it’s felt. The leather, the raw stone, that’s the point. Not to look nice. To hold up.”, Camille
Care: a soft cloth is all it takes for the stone; avoid prolonged water and oily products on the leather cord, and take it off before showering or exercising. All my care tips are in the cleaning guide.
