Its smooth, dark face has long been linked with resilience and a calm, practical way of meeting challenges, so Guard suits anyone who values a steady foundation. The meaning is yours to choose, and the ring makes no promise of a particular result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people give a black obsidian ring to a friend who is starting a demanding job or a new responsibility. Others wear one as a quiet reminder to keep their feet on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 5 to 10. Measure a ring you already wear that fits well, or wrap a strip of paper around the base of the finger, mark the overlap and compare the length with a size chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the oval stone sits across the front, check that the ring settles level when your hand is relaxed. If you are between sizes, choose the one that moves over the knuckle with slight resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for the obsidian and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, heat and chlorine can dull the surface and the vermeil. Remove the ring before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise and sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter wear, wipe the ring with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the obsidian and the finish, so the glossy face keeps its clear shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Energy Lab","offers":[{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 5","offer_id":50639165980737,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888602995","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 6","offer_id":50639166013505,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888635763","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 7","offer_id":50639166046273,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888668531","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 8","offer_id":50639166079041,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888701299","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 9","offer_id":50639166111809,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888734067","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil \/ 10","offer_id":50639166144577,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888766835","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 5","offer_id":50639166177345,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888209779","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 6","offer_id":50639166210113,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888242547","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 7","offer_id":50639166242881,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888275315","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 8","offer_id":50639166275649,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888308083","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 9","offer_id":50639166308417,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888340851","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 10","offer_id":50639166341185,"sku":"MEL-T20-62144888373619","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-guard-black-obsidian-ring-01-2dc5cdcb42.jpg?v=1791574580","url":"https:\/\/modernenergylab.com\/products\/guard-black-obsidian-ring","provider":"Modern Energy Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
