Description
These obsidian arrowhead hoop earrings in silver bring a cooler, sharper contrast to the same ancient form. Each raw obsidian arrowhead hangs inside a sterling silver hoop, deep matte black against bright silver, the arrowhead’s edges catching light the way volcanic glass always does. Obsidian has been shaped into arrowheads by human hands for thousands of years, a material of direction, focus, and protection. This is a piece for the person who wants that grounding energy in a cleaner, more minimal palette.
Obsidian is associated with grounding, protection, and clarity. Root chakra. Wear it when you need to feel steady and clear.
Why Obsidian
Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools rapidly and solidifies without crystallizing. Its deep black color and glassy surface come from its amorphous structure. Long used across cultures for tools, arrowheads, and mirrors. Chosen for its striking appearance, its raw arrowhead form, and its grounding quality. Root chakra. No mystical claims. Just a genuinely ancient material with a meaning that fits real life.

How These Handmade Gemstone Earrings Are Made
Each pair of obsidian arrowhead hoop earrings in silver is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select and match every arrowhead for its form and deep color, then set each one in a sterling silver hoop formed and finished by hand. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone earring pair from this studio is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Matching
Because these are natural arrowheads, each pair is matched by hand for size and shape. Slight variation between the two stones is part of what makes them handmade and real.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish sterling silver gently with a soft cloth to maintain brightness, or allow a subtle patina to develop naturally. Obsidian is volcanic glass and relatively durable, but treat the arrowhead edges gently to avoid chipping from hard impacts.
