The obsidian carries the design, and it is a near-black volcanic glass with a deep, mirror-like surface. Set against that, the silver-tone metal is a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. The form is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and it belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials.
Here is how each part of the piece behaves over time. Obsidian is a different case in wear: it takes a very high polish but is more brittle than crystalline stone, so it chips rather than scratches. Silver-Tone Metal — a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Day to day, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs. The brass appears as a warm yellow metal with a slightly duller, more golden surface than copper. Against the skin, it develops a darker tone and, in damp air, a green-ish film that buffs away. Inside the piece, the textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Handled often, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
We ask for a measurement rather than offering a generic size, and confirm the finished fit in writing. The photographs and the written summary carry the same detail, so nothing about the selected piece is left to assumption. The protective reading of this piece is a wearer’s reminder, not a result it guarantees. Colour, veining and grain differ between individual stones and beads, which is normal rather than a fault. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Avoid impact at edges and store it separately so the polished surface is not marked. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Wipe it dry after wear; a soft cloth restores the shine, and any intentional antique finish should be left alone. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
