The obsidian is a volcanic glass, and because it is left in its natural state, the edges and glossy surface look shaped by the earth rather than by a tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA white sapphire sits beside the obsidian and adds a clear, bright contrast to the dark stone. The two stones together carry about 2.88 carats, a size that reads clearly at the neckline without feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent is built on a double chain, so the pendant has a layered look that suits everyday clothing. The dark stone and the clear sapphire work well with knitwear, a dark shirt and simple evening outfits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-editorial catalog-editorial--detail\"\u003e\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-current-black-obsidian-necklace-03-84559d801b.jpg?v=1791574580\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"A close view shows the rough black stone held by yellow gold prongs between sculpted links.\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eCurrent necklace worn at the neck\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"catalog-kicker\"\u003eLayered and steady\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA double chain that sits gently at the neckline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"catalog-lead\"\u003eAn upper chain of 15 inches and a lower chain of 16 inches, with a 2 inch extender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe necklace has an upper chain of 15 inches and a lower chain of 16 inches, with a 2 inch extender.

The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people give a raw black obsidian necklace to a friend who has faced a hard season and kept moving.

Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch.
