Black obsidian crystal necklace: a grounded everyday talisman
This polished black obsidian crystal necklace arrives ready to wear on a black waxed cord. Its deep glassy shine and clean point shape make it easy to layer with silver jewellery, a dark tee or a simple dress. We also pack it in an elegant Rivendell gift box, so its story can begin the moment it is opened.
Obsidian is volcanic glass formed when lava cools quickly. That gives this pendant its smooth midnight surface. Each piece has natural differences in shape, sheen and tiny markings, so the necklace you receive will have its own character.
✨ Black obsidian meaning
In crystal lore, black obsidian is linked with grounding, protection and truth. It is often chosen for a fresh start, a firmer boundary or a moment that calls for clear decisions. Touch the point before a busy day and use it as a small reminder: stay steady, notice what is true, then move forward.
Obsidian is not the same stone as black onyx or black tourmaline. Our black crystal necklace guide compares their appearance, meanings and care if you are choosing between them.

How to care for black obsidian
Obsidian is glassy and can chip if it meets a hard edge. Take the necklace off before showering, swimming or sleeping. Wipe the stone and setting with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry them straight away. Avoid soaking the waxed cord. Store the pendant in its gift box when you are not wearing it, away from keys and harder jewellery.

Frequently Bought Together
I have been having problems with feeling drained and emotionally unbalanced due to being surrounded by negative people in the workplace. I'm in the position of management, so needed something to keep me grounded and shield me somewhat so I can perform and make decisions from a calm a d balanced perspective. What came to mind was black obsidian, so I was pleased to see the lovely quality necklace at Rivendell. The service was excellent, and the necklace arrived quickly. It has been helping me already.
I love it so much! It’s exactly what I was after. The cord is really thin but I have put it on a chain I have and it’s perfect. I’ve also noticed a big difference, much less negative thoughts and overall a much happier person! Couldn’t recommend obsidian more
I am happy with my purchase but I was expecting the thick black thread.
Because this black thread opened easily.
Beautiful, as advertised. Had to put good adjustable knots in the cord but that’s an easy job. Cleansed it & charged it & not took it off since. Highly recommend.
