We call this lovely bracelet "Starry Starry Night" with its beautiful Genuine snowflake obsidian star shaped focal bead and large 8mm genuine black onyx beads. (The colors of the focal bead may not exactly match the ones in the photo however all beads used are of similiar quality).
The smaller 6mm beads are genuine snowfalke obsidian beads. The marker is made up of 6mm black onyx beads. All metal beads and findings are either solid sterling silver or silver plated.
Black has been associated with regeneration and new beginnings. Black onyx is thought by some to have protective qualities, making it advantageous to carry when one is traveling. It is said to be useful in fighting basic fears and in helping to create the opportunity to move beyond bad relationships--and to heal old emotional wounds.
"If you grew up where snow floated down in huge, beautiful flakes, you understand how snowflake obsidian connects us to our earliest, happiest memories. Remember how wonderful it was to be snowed-in? Shut off from the outside world's demands and distractions, you watched the snow quietly fill the world around you. All was well. You felt safe and protected. That's the sense of things snowflake obsidian can give us. Like a sky full of beautiful snowflakes, it restores something: a deep, abiding sense of protection and reverence."
The beads have been strung on 49 strand black bracelet wire making it extremely flexible and a pleasure to wear.
The bracelet measures out to 8" (your bracelet should measure at least 1 inch longer than your wrist so that you are able to use the beads properly) and the closure can be an easy on and off toggle or a secure lobster claw.
