2 mm Faceted Natural Bead Strand Golden Obsidian

Strand of 2 mm faceted beads in natural golden obsidian. A deep black speckled with coppery reflections, in the smallest size of the selection.

Features :

  • Stone : natural golden obsidian (volcanic glass)
  • Shape : faceted round
  • Size : 2 mm
  • Hole : 0,5 mm
  • Quantity : sold by the strand
  • Color : black with golden reflections

The 0,5 mm hole requires a fine thread: 0.35 mm nylon for single stringing, 0.15 mm if the thread needs to pass through again. At this size, these beads are mainly used as spacers between larger stones, or as a discreet line on a fine chain.

A bit of gemology : obsidian is not a mineral but a volcanic glass: lava cooled so quickly that crystals did not have time to form. Its structure is amorphous, with no crystalline network — hence its conchoidal fracture, in curved flakes, and its vitreous luster. The golden reflections come from microscopic gas inclusions aligned by the flow of the lava: oriented in the light, the bead lights up with a coppery veil. Hardness of 5 to 5,5 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz: avoid impacts and rubbing against harder materials. Main deposits: Mexico, United States, Armenia, Iceland, Indonesia.

100% natural product : the intensity and orientation of the reflections vary from bead to bead and from strand to strand. The dimensions and quantities are given as an indication.

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Few objects are imperishable and last over time. Your jewelry, regardless of price or composition, will live with you and thus show signs of aging. This is perfectly normal and does not call the quality into question.

Here are some tips to keep them in the best condition for as long as possible.

  • Remove your jewelry before washing, bathing, and during beauty routines (cream, perfume...). This will help preserve the gold plating in good condition and not damage the Gemstones. Rest assured, the Prémium Perles Corner metals are of very good quality and will survive occasional exposure to water.
  • Avoid chemical products. Contrary to what one might think, doing the dishes, swimming in chlorinated water... does not go well with metals and stones.
  • Be sure to store your jewelry properly. When you are not wearing them, we recommend storing your jewelry in a case, a suede pouch, a zip bag, and especially not in a humid room like the bathroom.
  • Clean your jewelry with soapy water. Avoid chemical products or toothpaste, which could be too harsh for metals and stones. Regular maintenance, once a month, is sufficient. Be sure to dry them well afterward.

In conclusion, your jewelry, like all things, are objects that need attention and respect so you can enjoy them for as long as possible. With these few tips, they should accompany you for years!
