The beads are small and smooth, and their glossy dark surface reflects light softly along the chain, so the strand reads as one continuous line of dark color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is a flat-slice black onyx of about 13 by 10 millimeters, a steady, polished stone at the center. Twenty small white zircon stones, about 1 millimeter each, sit among the beads and add quiet points of brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrand suits dark knitwear, tailored jackets and simple dresses.

Black obsidian is linked with resilience and a calm, grounded way of facing difficult days, so Strand brings two dark stones together for a steady, quiet meaning. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people give a beaded black stone necklace to a friend who has shown great persistence.

Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter wear, wipe the strand with a soft dry cloth and store it flat in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from other jewelry protects the beads, the zircon and the finish, so the dark surfaces keep their gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Energy Lab","offers":[{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil","offer_id":50639204155457,"sku":"MEL-T20-52785127620979","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver","offer_id":50639204188225,"sku":"MEL-T20-52785127588211","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-strand-black-onyx-black-obsidian-necklace-01-bc2d25a281.jpg?v=1791575015","url":"https:\/\/modernenergylab.com\/products\/strand-black-onyx-black-obsidian-necklace","provider":"Modern Energy Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
