Dark beads, simple line
Genuine black obsidian beads on a quality cord
Genuine black obsidian beads strung on a quality cord, with a 1.5-inch chain extender.
Trail strings genuine black obsidian beads on a quality cord, so the dark stones sit close together and make a steady line across the wrist. Each bead has its own glossy surface, and the set reads as a calm band of colour rather than a busy design.
The bracelet is 6 inches long, with a 1.5-inch chain extender that gives an adjustable fit. The beads together weigh about 18.07 carats, so the bracelet feels present on the wrist without weighing it down.
Trail suits everyday wear, and the dark beads pair easily with knitwear, denim and tailored clothing alike. It is a simple piece to wear with other bracelets or on its own.
Light and easy
A slim bracelet with a finish to suit your jewelry
Three finishes, with a metal weight of about 1.00 gram.
The bracelet weighs about 1.00 gram of metal, so it sits lightly on the wrist and does not catch on sleeves. The beads move softly with each step, and the cord keeps them in an even line.
Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame, rose gold vermeil brings a soft blush, and sterling silver keeps the beads cool and crisp. Choose the finish that matches the rest of your jewelry.
The meaning of strength
Black obsidian is often associated with strength and resilience, the steady inner resolve that helps a person keep going through a demanding stretch. Beads on a cord are an easy way to keep that idea close, so Trail suits anyone who values a simple, steady piece. The meaning is yours to choose, and the bracelet makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give a black obsidian bracelet to a friend who has taken on a demanding challenge. Others wear one as a private reminder to stay steady when the day asks more than expected.
Choosing your length
The bracelet is 6 inches long with a 1.5-inch chain extender. Measure around your wrist with a soft tape, or with a strip of paper marked where it meets, and compare the length with the bracelet before you order.
If you wear a loose sleeve or a bulky watch, the extender helps the bracelet sit comfortably next to other pieces without pulling at the cord.
Caring for the beads and finish
Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, sweat and chlorine can dull its gloss and the vermeil. Remove the bracelet before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise and sleep.
After wear, wipe the beads with a soft dry cloth and store the bracelet in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the cord and the finish.
Find your metal tone
Three finishes for the same black obsidian bead bracelet. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth, rose gold vermeil for a soft blush or sterling silver for a cool line.
