Description
Deep black shot through with rainbow glimmers that dance in the light, the rainbow obsidian bracelet is the most spectacular of all the obsidians. Shaped by hand with natural stones, it sits on the wrist like a small rainbow, a symbol of harmony and balance.
Rainbow obsidian owes its glimmers to the same optical phenomenon as sheen obsidian, but taken further: fine layers of magnetite nanoparticles diffract the light, sending back a broader, more iridescent spectrum. Instead of a single localised sheen, you see reflections that shift colour, blue, green, violet, sometimes pink or gold, depending on the angle and the light. It is beautiful and genuinely rare: every bead is a unique optical micro-mosaic. To understand this exceptional variety fully, have a look at my complete guide to obsidian.
In crystal healing, this obsidian is said to be the most balanced and harmonising of the family. It is described as a stone that “brings all the elements together”, one that settles inner conflict and creates harmony between body, heart and mind. Linked to the crown chakra (the seventh), it is associated with unity, spirituality and the wider view, seeing the whole rather than the details. It keeps the grounding of the black obsidians, but lifts it towards a broader, brighter perspective.
Unisex and captivating, this bracelet slips onto a woman’s wrist as readily as a man’s. Its elastic thread means there’s no clasp to fasten: it goes on easily and sits comfortably at your wrist size. Wear it on its own to watch its thousand glimmers, or stacked with other natural stone bracelets, amethyst, clear quartz or citrine make good companions for amplifying that harmonising quality.

Shaped by hand by Camille
Every bracelet is put together by hand in my workshop, in France. I choose the rainbow obsidian beads one by one, holding them up to the light to watch all their glimmers dance, and I check every finish, so that the piece arriving at your door is a genuine little marvel.
Rainbow obsidian is the most demanding of all to select. Beads that are truly spectacular, with a sheen that really shifts colour, are rare. I spend time hunting for them, examining them under different lights. Because this bracelet deserves to be noticed. Read the story of the workshop.
“When I hold a rainbow bead up to the light and turn it, I watch every rainbow in the world go past. This is the bracelet for anyone looking for harmony while keeping a bit of colour in their life.”, Camille

Care: a soft cloth is all it takes; avoid salt, knocks and prolonged contact with water, and take it off before showering or exercising. All my tips are in the care guide.
