Dark base, bright flash
Black obsidian and labradorite cut in several shapes
Black obsidian and labradorite stones of about 1.2 to 4 millimeters in oval, pear, marquise and round cuts.
Pulse brings black obsidian and labradorite together in a single earring. The stones range from about 1.2 to 4 millimeters and come in oval, pear, marquise and round brilliant cuts, so each frame holds a mix of shapes that catch the light differently.
The black obsidian gives a dark, glossy base, while the labradorite holds a blue, gray, green and teal flash that moves as the head turns. White zircon embellishments add small, clean points of brightness between the stones.
The stones together carry about 1.15 carats for the pair. Pulse suits dark tailoring, black knitwear and evening outfits that need a clear, confident accent near the face.
Light and close
Earrings that sit close to the lobe
About 0.80 grams of metal per pair in a light frame.
The earrings weigh about 0.80 grams of metal per pair, so they feel light on the lobe and move softly with each step. The frame keeps the stones close to the ear, which lets the dark base and the flash show clearly.
Sterling silver gives the frame a sharp, cool edge that suits silver jewelry and dark clothing. Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm golden edge that complements the obsidian and the labradorite.
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. Labradorite is linked with transformation and imagination, so Pulse pairs a grounded dark base with a shifting flash. The meaning is yours to choose, and the earrings make no promise of a particular result.
Some people give a pair of black obsidian and labradorite earrings to a friend who has taken on a new challenge. Others wear them for an evening when they want a bold, composed look.
Choosing your finish
Sterling silver gives the earrings a sharp, cool frame that suits minimal and tailored clothes, while yellow gold vermeil adds a warmer edge that looks lovely with gold jewelry and deep, earthy colors.
Because the earrings are small, try them with the metal you wear most often. A finish that matches your other jewelry will look more intentional near the face.
Caring for the stones and finish
Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, labradorite can scratch, and lotion, perfume, heat and chlorine can dull the stones and the vermeil. Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.
After wear, wipe the earrings with a soft dry cloth and store them in a separate pouch. Keeping them apart from other jewelry protects the stones and the finish, so the dark base keeps its gloss.
Find your metal tone
Two finishes with the same black obsidian and labradorite earrings. Choose sterling silver for a cool line or yellow gold vermeil for warmth.

Frequently asked questions
Are the black obsidian and labradorite natural?
Yes. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, and labradorite is a natural stone. Each piece varies from the photographs.
Is the labradorite one of a kind?
Yes. Every labradorite is unique, so expect your own play of blue, gray, green and teal, not an exact match to the photos.
Is the white zircon natural?
White zircon is a natural mineral used here as a clear, bright accent. It is not the same as cubic zirconia.
Are these earrings in stock now?
The earrings are 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 finish is 18kt yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver, a thin gold layer rather than solid gold.
Does the design promise any effect?
No. Black obsidian is often associated with strength, and labradorite with transformation. Those meanings are yours to choose, and the earrings make no promise of a particular outcome.
Can I wear them in the shower or pool?
Please remove them before swimming, showering or exercise. Water, lotion and chlorine can dull the finish and the stones.
How should I clean them?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen small stones and damage the finish.
