Why this stone
Gold sheen obsidian is volcanic glass cooled before a lattice could form; kyanite is a high-pressure aluminium silicate that is softer along one axis and harder across another. The two kyanite beads are two marks of blue on a black field. Worn together, the dark field gives the blue axis somewhere to stand.

Dispatch & Delivery
Tracked worldwide
Final inspection before dispatch. Shipped with order record. The lot number matches this card.
Gold sheen obsidian is natural volcanic glass cooled before a crystal lattice could form, while kyanite is a high-pressure aluminium silicate with directional structure. One holds a dark field; the other carries a blue axis. The materials meet as boundary and direction.
This lot was selected for binary contrast without visual noise: continuous black obsidian, restrained gold sheen, and saturated cyan-blue kyanite planes. The standard is two poles held in one perimeter. Each material needed to stay legible.
This is Anchor. The strand is mostly dark volcanic glass, with two kyanite beads. Black field, two blue marks: obsidian is about Mohs 5 to 5.5, and kyanite is about 5.5 along its length and about 7 across it.

VerifiedGood quality, slightly heavier than expected
I'm used to lightweight chain bracelets so the weight of this took a day or two to get used to. Now I actually prefer it - you know it's there. The obsidian is beautiful, very glassy, and the kyanite has a nice matte contrast to it. Four stars only because I wish the website mentioned how heavy these feel in person. Otherwise really happy.

VerifiedPairs brilliantly with my BE moonstone
Mine is a little uneven in the best way. The dark beads with muted blue makes it feel less generic.

VerifiedEUR199 for something this subtle?
The finish is fine, but dark with a cool blue break was not exactly what I wanted. I can see why someone else would like it.

VerifiedThree months in and still wearing it daily
The dark beads with muted blue felt more specific after wearing it at my desk.

VerifiedFirst bead bracelet I've ever liked
I've tried tiger eye, lava, those cheap Amazon ones - none of them felt right. Either too light, too shiny, or just tacky. This is a different class. Heavy, well-finished, and the colour combination is actually tasteful. The kyanite striations give it character. I finally get why people collect these.

VerifiedNice piece, just wish it came with care tips
Kyanite is a softer stone and I'd have appreciated a small note about what to avoid - can I shower with it? Should I keep it away from certain surfaces? I'm being cautious on my own but a care card would have been reassuring. The bracelet looks great though, no question.
Chris B.12 Feb 2026
VerifiedClean and bold
Clean design, great contrast between the black obsidian and the blue kyanite stones. Bold but sophisticated. Perfect everyday bracelet - casual, work, going out, it works with everything.

VerifiedGenuinely gender-neutral
I hate when things are marketed as "unisex" but clearly designed for one gender. This actually works for everyone. My partner (male) and I (female) both tried it on and it looked right on both of us. The proportions, the colour, the weight - it adapts. We ordered a second one so we wouldn't have to share.
