Dark and grounded
An oval obsidian with a dark, steady presence
An oval, brilliant-cut black obsidian at the front of a chain, with a deep, glossy surface.
Night Armor hangs an oval, brilliant-cut black obsidian at the front of a chain. Black obsidian has a deep, glossy body that holds the light in a calm, dark sheen. The brilliant cut sends quick points of light across the surface, so the pendant looks bold and steady rather than heavy.
The stone measures about 10 by 8 millimeters and weighs about 2.25 carats. The plated setting keeps the focus on the obsidian, and the dark tone sits calmly against the skin and looks equally at home with a plain shirt or a jacket.
Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass with a smooth, dark surface. Each piece is raw and untreated, so the edges and surface are a little different from one necklace to the next, and the pendant keeps the look of a stone as it formed.
Sure and simple
A necklace with a confident line
A 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender that rests well at the collarbone.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a classic length that sits at the collarbone. The extender lets you lower the pendant when you want a longer line or room for layering with other necklaces.
Yellow gold plating warms the obsidian and gives the pendant a golden outline, while white rhodium plating makes the stone look sharper and more modern. Both finishes suit everyday clothes and a relaxed evening.
The meaning of resilience
Black obsidian is often described as a stone of resilience and steady strength, a reminder to come back to your center after a hard day. Night Armor is a symbol of that steadiness, a dark, confident line you can wear on any day. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people wear a dark stone during a demanding season, as a quiet reminder to keep going. Others choose one as a gift for someone who likes strong, uncomplicated jewelry.
Choosing your length
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender. Measure a necklace you already wear and check where the pendant sits before you decide.
A shorter position keeps the obsidian close to the collarbone, while the extender lets it fall a little lower. Try both in a mirror to see which suits your neckline.
Caring for the obsidian and plating
Obsidian is a glass, so it can chip if it knocks against hard surfaces. Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep, and keep it away from perfume and lotion.
After wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the stone and the plating.
Find your metal tone
Two plated finishes with the same black obsidian. Choose yellow gold for warmth or white rhodium for a cool, sharp line.
White rhodium plated

Frequently asked questions
Is the black obsidian natural?
Yes. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, so its sheen and surface vary from one pendant to another.
Is the gold solid?
No. The finishes are 18kt yellow gold plating and white rhodium plating. Both are thin layers over the base metal.
Can I adjust the length?
Yes. The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, so you can wear it slightly longer for layering.
Is this necklace in stock now?
The necklace is sold as a standard item. Check the product page for the delivery estimate shown there before you order.
Does the necklace promise any effect?
No. Black obsidian is often described as a stone of resilience, and that meaning is yours to choose. The necklace 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 wear the plating and dull the stone.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the plating and the obsidian.
Will the stone look the same as the photos?
Obsidian has a glassy surface that can show small variations in sheen, so the pendant you receive may look slightly different from the photographs.
