    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 triangle-shaped step-cut black obsidian, about 15 by 11 millimeters, as the 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 with an 18kt gold vermeil finish, for the pendant frame 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.

    Dark and upright

    A triangle step-cut black obsidian with a clean outline

    A triangle-shaped step-cut black obsidian of about 15 by 11 millimeters on a 20 inch chain.

    Vow holds a triangle-shaped step-cut black obsidian of about 15 by 11 millimeters at the front of the pendant. The step cut lays the glossy dark surface out in clean bands, and the points of the triangle give the pendant a firm, upright outline.

    The stone weighs about 3.30 carats, a size that makes a strong, steady statement at the neckline. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, so its gloss varies a little from one stone to another.

    Vow suits dark knitwear, tailored jackets and simple evening dresses. Its dark face and clean lines look bold by day and composed in the evening.

    Light and steady

    A long chain that lets the pendant find its place

    A 20 inch chain with about 2.75 grams of metal in a pendant that rests lightly.

    The chain is 20 inches long, a length that lets the triangle pendant rest on the chest or fall lower over a shirt. The pendant is about 25.95 by 13.80 millimeters, so it sits in clear view without feeling heavy.

    The metal weighs about 2.75 grams, a comfortable weight for everyday wear. The 18kt yellow gold vermeil finish gives the frame a warm, golden edge that complements the dark stone.

    The meaning of strength

    Black obsidian is often associated with strength, the steady inner resolve that helps a person keep their footing through a demanding stretch. Its dark, smooth face has long been linked with resilience and a calm, grounded way of meeting challenges, so Vow 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 black obsidian pendant to a friend who has faced a hard season and kept going. Others wear one as a private reminder to stay steady when the week asks more than expected.

    Choosing your length

    The chain is 20 inches long. Measure a necklace you already wear and check where its pendant sits before you decide, so you can choose the position that suits your neckline.

    A longer chain lets the triangle sit lower on the chest, while a shorter wear keeps it close to the collarbone. Try it on in a mirror before you order.

    Caring for the obsidian and finish

    Black obsidian can chip under hard knocks, and lotion, perfume, heat and chlorine can dull the glossy surface 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 step-cut face and the finish, so the obsidian keeps its deep gloss.
