Obsidian Oval Bracelet — rendered visualisation, studio photography pending

Hand-strungOval

This is a computer-rendered visualisation, not a photograph.

Each piece is made by hand in small numbers, so we render it rather than photograph a duplicate. The image shows the form, the material, the finish and the proportion — it is not a photograph of the exact piece you will receive, and natural stone varies from one piece to the next. Write to us and we will photograph the actual piece in stock, with its weight and measurements, before you buy.

Card payments are handled by our payment provider with 3-D Secure 2. We never see or store your card number.

The classic bead, slightly longer than round, so the strand follows the wrist. Obsidian is volcanic glass — lava that cooled too quickly to crystallise — which is why it is smoother and sharper-edged than any stone and why it can hold a polish no mineral can match.

Origin: Jalisco, Mexico
Cultivar: Obsidian
Harvest: Strung by hand in 2024
SKU: CY-JW-104

Obsidian is volcanic glass — lava that cooled too quickly to crystallise — which is why it is smoother and sharper-edged than any stone and why it can hold a polish no mineral can match. In thin sections it is translucent brown or green rather than black.

The classic bead: an ellipse slightly longer than it is round, which lets a strand follow the wrist without gaps at the curve. It is the shape most bracelets are strung in, and the one every other shape here is a deliberate departure from.

Two sizes or two tones alternate the whole way round, which changes how the strand reads at a distance — a repeating rhythm rather than a single colour. It needs twice the bead sorting of a plain strand and leaves no room for a filler bead.

Sizing: the strand is strung on a doubled elastic core with a knotted finish, and it is made in three lengths — a snug 16 cm, the standard 18 cm, and a loose 20 cm. Beads are graded by hand before stringing, so the strand you receive is matched for size and tone from the first bead to the last. Every bracelet is strung to order in small numbers; if you would like the exact strand photographed before it ships, ask and we will send you the picture.

Care: It is glass, so it chips rather than scratches. Keep it away from hard edges and from other jewellery.

We dispatch within 48 hours of your order, from our warehouse in China, with tracking on every parcel.

We do not quote a delivery date. Once a parcel leaves us it is carried by an international courier and cleared by customs in your country, and a date we cannot control is a date we will not promise. The tracking number, which you get when the label is created, shows every scan to your door.

Shipping is complimentary on orders over CAD 79.00$; below that a flat CAD 9.50$ applies. HST (13%) is calculated at checkout. Duties and import taxes are the recipient's responsibility.

Unopened tins can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If a tea is not to your taste, tell us — we would rather send you something you like than keep the money.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club and China UnionPay through our payment provider's local card gateway, protected by 3-D Secure 2 authentication. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment in your banking app or with a one-time code.

Card details are entered on our checkout and transmitted directly to the payment provider over TLS. They are never written to our database — we only keep the card brand and the last four digits so you can recognise the charge on your statement. All prices are in CAD.
