This simple, yet elegant ring is made up of a single 8mm Snowflake Obsidian bead and stainless steel wire. Stainless steel holds up to the elements, and will not tarnish or discolor, so it is great for every day wear! The circular shape of the gemstone rotates to allow you to fidget when you feel uncomfortable without drawing too much attention to yourself. Since each ring is handmade, expect slight variations from the picture shown. The ring will come packaged in a charming box, perfect for easy gifting! Obsidian, including the Snowflake variety, is a product of volcanic activity. The rapid cooling of silica-rich lava results in a glassy rock with a smooth texture. This rapid cooling process prevents the formation of a regular crystalline structure, which is a characteristic feature of most minerals. All my jewelry is handmade and made with patience, care and love. If you have any questions about this item, or any other items in my shop, please feel free to contact me.
