Silver Obsidian Bracelet · 10mm · Dragon Crystal
The Quiet Guardian
A 10mm silver obsidian bracelet is not merely an ornament. It is a companion that carries the quiet language of stone — worn close, deepened by touch.
This 10mm silver obsidian bracelet is made from natural silver obsidian from a top-tier Mexican mine. Each 10mm bead is hand-selected for clarity, sheen, and depth. The silver flash within each stone catches the light like a quiet constellation — a shimmer that reveals itself only when you look closely.
This piece belongs to the Dragon Crystal series — jewelry made from obsidian, the stone known in Chinese tradition as Long Jing (Dragon Crystal). It is made for those who recognize these stones, and for those who are simply curious.
The Stone: Silver Obsidian
Natural star-eye silver obsidian. Untreated. Unpolished by chemicals.
Silver obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, formed when lava cools rapidly. Its surface is smooth, deep, and cool to the touch — a black that catches light without reflecting it fully. Within the stone, tiny silver particles catch the light at certain angles, creating the shimmer known as the “star-eye” effect.
This 10mm silver obsidian bracelet uses obsidian from a prized Mexican deposit — the same origin that supplies the finest silver sheen obsidian in the world. Each bead is hand-selected for a larger star-eye pattern and higher clarity than ordinary silver obsidian. The crystal is purer, the sheen more defined, and the stone more translucent than standard grade.
The reputation of Mexican silver sheen obsidian is well documented. Mindat.org, the world’s leading mineral database, records sheen obsidian deposits in the Magdalena Municipality of Jalisco, Mexico — the same region that supplies the finest silver sheen obsidian in the world.
Higher hardness. More durable.
This grade of silver obsidian has a higher hardness than ordinary silver obsidian, making it more resistant to wear and scratching over time. With wear, the stone will retain its deep, glass-like sheen.
A quiet natural sheen.
In indoor light, the beads appear deep and dark — quiet, grounded, and still. Tilt them toward a light source, and the silver particles within begin to shimmer, like moonlight on still water. This is the nature of authentic silver obsidian. It does not sit still. It responds to its surroundings.
Natural Inclusions: The Signature of Authenticity
Silver obsidian is a natural stone, formed over millions of years. Within each bead, you may see certain marks — and these are not flaws. They are the fingerprints of the earth.
Microvesicles — the stretched gas bubbles that create the silver sheen. They are the source of the stone’s light, not a defect.
Ice-crack textures — natural fractures that formed as the stone cooled. They catch the light and add depth, like frost on a window.
Colour variations — soft shifts between black, silver, and deep grey. These are natural colour variations, not artificial marks.
Every 10mm silver obsidian bracelet is one of a kind. No two beads are identical. The inclusions you see are the story of the stone’s journey — not a defect, but a quiet beauty.
A Quiet Symbolism
Silver obsidian carries a long history in folk tradition. In some Native American traditions, it was called “Apache Tears” — a stone associated with quiet comfort. In Chinese tradition, obsidian is known as Long Jing, the Dragon Crystal — a stone traditionally regarded as a guardian, a companion for staying grounded and clear.
We present these as cultural symbols, not promises of specific outcomes. What is offered is the stone itself — a natural material, shaped by the earth, and meant to be worn with quiet awareness.
A Note on Size
8mm & 10mm
Both bracelets are made from the same Mexican silver obsidian — the same clarity, the same star-eye sheen, the same hand-selection. The difference is in how the stone presents itself.
8mm
Lighter on the wrist, quieter in presence. The silver sheen is visible, but finer, more delicate — a shimmer that reveals itself when you look closely. A good choice for everyday wear, or for those who prefer a more understated look. Explore 8mm silver obsidian bracelet →
10mm
Larger beads, more presence. The silver sheen opens wider. More of the stone’s pattern is visible at a glance — the shimmer feels deeper, the light more expansive. A good choice for those who want to appreciate the obsidian’s full character, or prefer a bracelet with more weight and visual depth.
Both are unisex. If you are unsure which size is right for you, write to us. We are happy to help you choose.

FAQ

They are natural inclusions — microvesicles, ice-crack textures, and colour variations formed during the stone’s creation. They are the signature of authenticity, not flaws.
