    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 raw, untreated black obsidian, about 8 by 10 millimeters, as the stud stone.

    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 stud settings and posts.

    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.

    Rill raw black obsidian stud earrings

    Small, dark and simple

    A pair of raw black obsidian studs

    Raw, untreated black obsidian studs of about 8 by 10 millimeters in three finishes.

    Rill sets a raw, untreated black obsidian in each stud, about 8 by 10 millimeters. The stones keep their natural edges and glossy dark surface, so each pair looks a little different from the next.

    Together the two stones weigh about 8.20 carats. The studs sit close to the ear and stay neat through a working day, and they suit a tailored collar, a knit or a simple top.

    Rill comes in yellow gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil or sterling silver. Each finish frames the dark stone in its own tone, so you can choose the one that matches your other jewelry.

    Light and close

    Studs that sit lightly at the lobe

    About 1.26 grams of metal per pair in a close, simple stud design.

    The studs weigh about 1.26 grams of metal per pair, so they sit lightly on the lobe and do not pull as you turn your head. The raw stone sits close to the ear, keeping the earring tidy.

    Yellow gold vermeil gives a warm glow, rose gold vermeil brings a soft blush, and sterling silver keeps the stones cool and clean. Choose the finish that suits the rest of your look.

    The meaning of strength

    Black obsidian is often associated with strength and resilience, the steady inner resolve that helps a person keep going when a day is hard. A small raw stone worn daily is a quiet way to carry that idea, so Rill suits anyone who likes a simple pair they can wear without thinking. The meaning is yours to choose, and the earrings make no promise of a particular result.

    Some people give a pair of black obsidian studs to a friend who has faced a hard year. Others wear them as a steady, understated pair every day.

    Choosing your finish

    Yellow gold vermeil is warm, rose gold vermeil is soft and sterling silver is cool and clean. Look at the other metals you wear most often, and choose the finish that sits best beside them.

    The earrings are sold as a pair, one stud for each ear. Check the product page for the stone and metal details before you order.

    Caring for the stones and finish

    Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, sweat and chlorine can dull its gloss and the vermeil. Remove the earrings before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise and sleep.

    After wear, wipe the studs with a soft dry cloth and store them in a separate pouch. Keeping them apart from harder jewelry protects the raw edges and the finish.

    Find your metal tone

    Three finishes for the same raw black obsidian studs. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth, rose gold vermeil for a soft blush or sterling silver for a cool line.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the black obsidian natural?

    Yes. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, and each raw stone has its own surface and small variations.

    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 finishes are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, thin gold layers rather than solid gold.

    Are the studs suitable for sensitive ears?

    Sterling silver is often a good choice for sensitive skin. If you have a metal allergy, check the product page for the full metal details before you order.

    Does the pair promise any effect?

    No. Black obsidian is often associated with strength and resilience, and those meanings are yours to choose. 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 vermeil and the raw stone.

    How should I clean them?

    Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the raw edges and the vermeil.

    Are these earrings a good gift?

    Simple studs are a popular gift for a friend, a colleague or a family member. The earrings make no promise of a particular outcome.
