I was looking for something with a black stone that I could wear with anything. This necklace is perfect for that! I also have the earrings that match. Both are beautifully made and I love wearing them. Thank you very much to the artist!

Stunning pendant!

What a beautifully made pendant! The chain is way too short so had to put it on a different chain. But you can't go wrong with this quality piece!

Beautiful, classic necklace

This sterling mounting is 3/4" at the widest part, slightly smaller than expected. The black obsidian stone is 1/2", also smaller than expected, but still lovely to wear. It is on a 17" silver necklace. It is a quality piece.

Obsidian Necklace

Obsidian is a naturally occurring glass that has been prized since prehistoric times, when it was used to make sharp blades and arrowheads. This practice prevailed during pre-Hispanic times, when obsidian was important for the economic, social and political aspects of civilization. Today, obsidian is widely used in ornamentation, a craft mastered by talented jewelry-smiths across the world. They contribute traditional, contemporary and original designs to Novica's Obsidian Necklace collection.

Silversmiths in Mexico and Peru honor their people's artistic legacy by replicating pre-Hispanic glyphs on obsidian pendants similar to those featured in pyramids, hand-woven area rugs and wall hangings.

Mahogany obsidian is brown, snowflake obsidian is speckled, and both are featured in our Obsidian Necklace collection. Black obsidian remains a favorite for a handcrafted necklace. It can be paired with a glistening black handbag for an original ensemble!
