Dark beads on a cord
Black obsidian beads strung on a quality cord
Natural black obsidian beads strung together on a cord, with a clasp in silver or gold vermeil.
Beadline is a row of natural black obsidian beads strung on a quality cord. Each bead has a smooth, glossy surface, and because they are natural, every bead carries its own small variation in tone and sheen.
The beads sit close together along the wrist, so the bracelet reads as one continuous band of dark color. Depending on the length, the stones add up to about 18.50 to 21.00 carats.
Beadline suits everyday wear with knitwear, a plain tee or a watch. Its dark beads look steady and easy to layer with other bracelets.
Because each bead is natural, the pattern along the strand is never quite the same from one bracelet to another. The cord keeps the beads in a single row, and the clasp closes the strand neatly around the wrist.
Light and flexible
A soft cord bracelet that moves with the wrist
About 1.25 grams of metal in a flexible cord bracelet with a clasp.
The bracelet weighs about 1.25 grams, so it feels light and moves comfortably with the wrist. The cord lets the beads settle around the wrist, and the clasp keeps the length secure through the day.
The clasp can be sterling silver or gold vermeil over sterling silver, so you can match the bracelet to the rest of your jewelry. Choose the finish that suits your everyday style.
The meaning of strength
Black obsidian is often associated with strength, the steady inner resolve that helps a person keep going through a demanding stretch. A row of dark beads suggests that same steadiness, so Beadline suits anyone who values quiet determination. The meaning is yours to choose, and the bracelet makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give a black obsidian bead bracelet to a friend who has faced a hard season. Others wear one as a simple, daily reminder to stay grounded when the day gets busy.
Choosing your length
The bracelet comes in 6.5 or 7.5 inches. Measure your wrist with a soft tape and choose the length that sits comfortably without pinching or sliding.
A snug fit keeps the beads steady on the wrist, while the longer length is comfortable for layering with a watch or other bracelets. Try it on before a long day.
Caring for the beads and cord
Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and water, sweat, lotion and chlorine can weaken the cord and dull the beads. Remove the bracelet before swimming, showering, exercise, sleep and cleaning.
After wear, wipe the beads with a soft dry cloth and store the bracelet flat in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the beads, the cord and the clasp.
Find your metal tone
Three finishes for the same black obsidian beaded bracelet. Choose sterling silver for a cool line, yellow gold vermeil for warmth or rose gold vermeil for softness.
Yellow gold vermeil
Warm 18kt yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver for the clasp, adding a golden touch to the dark beads.
Rose gold vermeil
Soft 18kt rose gold vermeil over sterling silver for the clasp, bringing a gentle blush to the black beads.

Frequently asked questions
Is the black obsidian natural?
Yes. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, and each bead has its own gloss and tone.
Which length should I choose?
The bracelet comes in 6.5 or 7.5 inches. Measure your wrist before you order and choose the length that sits comfortably.
Is this bracelet in stock now?
The bracelet is sold as a standard item. Check the product page for the delivery estimate shown there before you order.
Are the finishes solid gold?
No. The gold finishes are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver on the clasp, thin gold layers rather than solid gold.
Does the bracelet promise any effect?
No. Black obsidian is often associated with strength and grounding, and those meanings are yours to choose. The bracelet makes no promise of a particular outcome.
Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
Please remove it before swimming, showering or exercise. Water and chlorine can weaken the cord and dull the beads.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen the beads and damage the clasp.
Do the beads all look the same?
No. The beads are natural, so each one has its own gloss and small variations in tone.
