Meaning, material & care
The details behind this piece.
Silver-sheen obsidian provides the cool dark base, while tiger eye introduces bands of brown and gold. A Vajra-style metal accent sits at the centre as a precise visual counterpoint.
What follows is a plain description of each material, including how it changes. The obsidian appears as a near-black volcanic glass with a deep, mirror-like surface. Against the skin, it takes a very high polish but is more brittle than crystalline stone, so it chips rather than scratches. Inside the piece, the tiger eye is a banded stone whose gold and brown lines move with the light as the piece turns. Handled often, it is hard and takes a good polish, so it survives daily wear better than most stones.
The current configuration is suited to a larger wrist; ask us to confirm the photographed piece and exact fit. The motif is cultural context and a personal reminder, not a guarantee of protection.
Care
Keep dry, remove before bathing, and wipe metal gently with a soft cloth. Natural patina is expected. Avoid impact at edges and store it separately so the polished surface is not marked. Wipe it dry and store it separately; nothing beyond avoiding long soaking is needed. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
