    Representative material visualization · Appearance may vary

    Black Obsidian is a natural material selected for its slate visual character. Surface, color and pattern can vary with the cut, finish and individual piece; the product photographs and measurements describe the item you will receive.

    In this piece: a pear-shaped brilliant black obsidian, about 9 by 6 millimeters, on one side of the reversible pendant.

    What does black obsidian symbolize?

    In crystal and jewelry traditions, black obsidian is associated with reflection, intention and personal style. These meanings are cultural and personal; they are not medical benefits or promises.

    Will every black obsidian piece look the same?

    No. Variation can come from the material, cut, finish and lighting. Use the individual product photographs and measurements to judge the piece you will receive.

    How should I care for it?

    Keep finished jewelry away from hard impacts, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Follow the product-specific care instructions, including those for metal finishes and other components.

    Representative material visualization · Appearance may vary

    Sterling silver is a silver alloy used in jewelry. Its bright, cool-toned surface can develop a natural patina with wear and exposure. The visible finish may also be plated, so always check the metal option for the individual piece.

    In this piece: 925 sterling silver, or 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, for the reversible pendant and chain.

    Is sterling silver the same as a silver-colored finish?

    No. A silver-colored appearance alone does not establish metal content. Use the product's confirmed material specification; never identify sterling silver from its color or a reference photograph.

    Can sterling silver have a gold-colored finish?

    Yes. A gold layer can be applied over a sterling-silver base. In a vermeil option, the base metal and surface finish should both be stated; it must not be described as solid gold.

    How should I care for the finish?

    Store jewelry dry and separately, avoid cosmetics and household chemicals, and use a soft cloth. Follow the product's own care instructions before using silver cleaner, especially when stones, thread or gold plating are present.

    Crystal meanings are shared as traditional symbolism for personal reflection. They are not medical, financial, or professional advice, and they do not guarantee an outcome.

    Two faces, one pendant

    A pear-cut black obsidian with a heart cut-out on the back

    A pear-shaped brilliant black obsidian of about 9 by 6 millimeters, with a heart cut-out on the reverse.

    Reverse is a reversible pendant. One side holds a pear-shaped brilliant black obsidian of about 9 by 6 millimeters, with a smooth, glossy face that reflects light softly. The other side carries a heart cut-out in the metal, so the pendant has two faces that each read clearly.

    The black obsidian weighs about 1.57 carats. Worn with the stone facing out, the dark gloss sits at the neckline. Worn with the heart facing out, the open shape shows instead, and both sides are finished with care.

    Reverse is a simple, personal piece that suits knitwear, dark tailoring and everyday clothes. It adds a steady, quiet accent that looks good whichever side you choose.

    Light and close

    A chain that sits gently at the collarbone

    A 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender and about 2.10 grams of metal.

    The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a length that sits at the collarbone. The extender lets you lower the pendant for a longer line or a relaxed look, and the pendant stays light enough to wear all day.

    The metal weighs about 2.08 to 2.10 grams. Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame that suits dark clothing, rose gold vermeil gives a soft blush, and sterling silver keeps the edges crisp and cool.

    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. Its dark, smooth face has long been linked with resilience and a calm, grounded way of facing challenges, so Reverse suits anyone who values quiet determination. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.

    Some people give a reversible pendant to a friend who has shown steadiness through a hard season. Others wear one as a private reminder that strength can have more than one side.

    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 on your neckline before you decide.

    Try the pendant on both sides and at a few lengths in a mirror. The extender lets you find the position that shows the side you prefer.

    Caring for the obsidian and finish

    Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, heat and chlorine can dull both the stone and the vermeil. Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.

    After wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from other jewelry protects the obsidian, the heart cut-out and the finish, so the pendant keeps its clean edges.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the black obsidian natural?

    Yes. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, and its gloss and tone vary a little from one stone to another.

    Which way should I wear the pendant?

    You can wear it with the obsidian facing out, or with the heart facing out. Both sides are finished, so either way works.

    Can I adjust the length?

    Yes. The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, so the pendant can sit a little lower.

    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.

    Are the finishes solid gold?

    No. The gold finishes are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, thin gold layers rather than solid gold.

    Does the necklace promise any effect?

    No. Black obsidian is often associated with strength and resilience, and those meanings are 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, lotion and chlorine can dull the obsidian and the finish.

    How should I clean it?

    Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the obsidian's gloss and the finish.
