Description
This obsidian arrowhead necklace carries one of the oldest tool materials on earth at the collarbone. Volcanic glass, formed in an instant when lava meets cold air, shaped by ancient hands into arrowheads for thousands of years before anyone thought to wear it. The arrowhead form carries that history, direction, focus, the idea of moving through the world with intention. Here each one is encased in electroformed copper and hung from a copper chain in your choice of length, grounding and striking in equal measure. This is a piece for the person who wants their jewelry to carry real weight, not just symbolic weight.
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 This Handmade Gemstone Necklace Is Made
Each obsidian arrowhead necklace is made by hand in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every arrowhead for its form and deep color, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every piece is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
Because these are natural arrowheads, each one varies in shape and size. Slight variation is part of what makes them handmade and real.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish copper with a soft cloth to maintain shine or let the patina deepen naturally. Obsidian is volcanic glass and relatively durable, but treat the arrowhead edges gently to avoid chipping from hard impacts.
