Simple and steady
A small round stone with a deep finish
A round black obsidian of about 3.5 millimeters, set as a neat, timeless stud.
Round Anchor is built around a small round black obsidian. Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass with a deep, glossy surface, and the brilliant cut sends quick points of light across its dark body. At about 3.5 millimeters, the stone reads as a neat accent rather than a loud feature. The round outline is timeless, so the stud fits into most styles without needing to be matched to a trend.
The stud is designed to be understated. It sits close to the ear, so the eye notices the polished stone first and then the clean metal around it. The result looks considered on a plain outfit and still holds its own beside more detailed pieces.
Everyday studs
Quiet enough to wear every day
A light, neat stud that suits work, weekends and evenings alike.
Round Anchor is light and small, so it sits comfortably through a full day. Many people choose a stud like this as a base pair, the one they reach for without thinking, and add other earrings around it when they want to change the look.
Choose a finish that matches the rest of your jewelry. Sterling silver gives a cool, crisp line, while gold vermeil brings warmth. Rose vermeil softens the dark stone, and yellow vermeil gives a more classic, polished tone. A pair like this also layers well with a small hoop or a thin stud, adding depth to the ear without bulk.
The meaning of resilience
Black obsidian is often described as a stone of strength and resilience, a reminder of the ability to stay steady and recover. Round Anchor is a small, daily reminder of that steadiness. The meaning is yours to choose, and the studs make no promise of a particular result.
Some people wear a pair like this during a demanding season, as a steady reminder to come back to their center. Others choose them simply because the round shape is timeless.
Choosing your finish
Sterling silver suits a cool palette and silver jewelry. Gold vermeil suits warm tones and gold pieces. Compare the finish with a ring or chain you already wear before you decide.
If you are unsure, choose sterling silver, which pairs with most other metals and layers easily.
Caring for the stone and metal
Obsidian is a glass, so it can chip if it knocks against hard surfaces. Remove the studs before exercise, sleep, showering and swimming, and keep them away from perfume and lotion. Keep the studs in a dry place after wear so the metal and the stone do not hold moisture.
After wear, wipe the studs with a soft dry cloth and store them in a separate pouch. Keep them apart from harder jewelry so the polish and the finish stay bright.
Find your metal tone
Three finishes, the same small round obsidian. Choose silver for a cool look or gold vermeil for warmth.

Classic 18kt yellow gold vermeil that frames the obsidian in a warm, polished tone.
Rose gold vermeil
