A closer look
This lariat-style sweater necklace features a single, prominent pendant made of golden sheen obsidian, a natural volcanic glass. The stone is cut into a smooth, elongated marquise or rhombus shape with softly rounded edges and a highly polished, glossy surface that reflects light with a mirror-like quality. The body of the stone is a deep, translucent charcoal-black, while the interior reveals a striking chatoyant effect: concentric, swirling bands of golden-brown and bronze sheen that shift and shimmer as the piece moves, resembling a fingerprint or a wood-grain pattern. The stone is drilled at both pointed ends, allowing it to be integrated directly into the chain.
The chain is a flexible snake chain, also known as a Brazilian chain, constructed from tightly linked, flattened metal plates that create a smooth, continuous, and fluid tube-like appearance. The metal is a bright, cool silver tone with a high-polish finish, and the chain has a substantial, relatively thick gauge of 1.5mm. The total length of the necklace is 70cm, with an additional 5cm extension, providing a versatile fit. The chain passes through the drilled holes of the obsidian pendant, with small, polished metal jump rings and end caps securing the stone in place at both the top and bottom points.
A key functional feature of this design is the adjustable sliding mechanism. A small, spherical metal bead, which serves as a silicone-lined slider, is threaded onto the chain just below the pendant. This bead allows the wearer to slide it up or down the chain, effectively adjusting the length of the dangling tassel section and changing the overall silhouette of the necklace. The end of the tassel is finished with a larger, polished metal sphere that acts as a decorative weight, ensuring the chain hangs straight and adding a balanced, modern touch to the design.
The metal components, including the chain, jump rings, slider bead, and end sphere, are made from 316L stainless steel, a jewelry-grade alloy known for its durability and resistance to tarnish. The metal retains its natural silver color without plating, ensuring it will not fade or discolor over time. The combination of the dark, organic obsidian with the sleek, industrial stainless steel creates a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic that is both elegant and versatile, suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone statement piece.
The craftsmanship is precise, with clean connections between the stone and the chain, and a uniform, high-gloss finish on all metal surfaces. The obsidian pendant itself displays natural variations in its internal sheen pattern, a characteristic of genuine volcanic glass, with the golden chatoyancy being most visible under direct light. The overall design is balanced and symmetrical, with the pendant centered on the chain and the adjustable tassel providing a dynamic, asymmetrical element when worn.
