Dark and upright
A pear-cut black obsidian with a black spinel companion
A pear-shaped brilliant black obsidian of about 12 by 7 millimeters, set beside a round black spinel.
Pillar holds a pear-shaped brilliant black obsidian of about 12 by 7 millimeters at the front of the ring. The obsidian is a volcanic glass with a glossy, dark face, and the pear's point rises along the finger like a clean upright line.
A round brilliant black spinel sits beside the obsidian. Black spinel has a deep, even tone that complements the glassy surface of the obsidian, and the brilliant cut adds small, steady flashes as the hand moves. The total stone weight is about 3.17 carats.
Pillar is a bold, simple ring for everyday wear. It looks strong with black knitwear, tailored jackets and dark evening clothes, and it can stand alone or sit in a stack with other rings.
Solid and steady
A substantial ring that holds its shape on the finger
About 2.90 grams of metal in a setting that holds two dark stones securely.
The ring weighs about 2.90 grams, a solid weight that feels steady on the finger. The setting keeps the pear-shaped obsidian upright and holds the round spinel firmly beside it, so the stones stay in place through a busy day.
Sterling silver gives the setting a cool, sharp edge that suits silver jewelry and dark clothing. Rose gold vermeil adds a soft, warm blush that softens the dark stones and looks lovely with earthy tones.
The meaning of strength
Black obsidian is often associated with strength, a steady inner resolve that helps a person stay upright through a demanding season. Its dark, smooth face has long been linked with resilience and calm determination, so Pillar suits anyone who values quiet strength over noise. The meaning is yours to choose, and the ring makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give a black obsidian ring to a friend who has taken on a hard challenge and kept going. Others wear one as a private reminder to stand firm when the day asks more than they expected.
Choosing your size
This ring is made in sizes 5 and 6. 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.
Because the pear-shaped stone sits high, check that the ring settles flat when your hand is relaxed. If you are between the two sizes, choose the one that moves over the knuckle with slight resistance.
Caring for the obsidian and finish
Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, heat and chlorine can dull both the stones and the silver or vermeil. Remove the ring before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise and sleep.
After 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, the spinel and the finish, so the stones keep their smooth, dark gloss.
Find your metal tone
Two finishes with the same black obsidian and black spinel ring. Choose sterling silver for a cool, sharp line or rose gold vermeil for a soft blush.
