Care
Natural obsidian is a volcanic glass and should be handled with care to prevent chipping from heavy impacts. To preserve its sleek glossy sheen, clean gently using a dry or slightly damp soft microfiber cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh abrasives.

💎 Understanding Our Quality Grades:To better serve different business scales, we sort our gemstone strands into two distinct quality tiers. Please select your ideal variant from the dropdown menu above:
Standard Grade (Factory-Direct Sourcing): Sourced directly from first-hand manufacturing lines for ultimate cost-effectiveness. Highly recommended for commercial production and high-volume brands. *Please Note: As an un-sorted factory run, these strands may contain natural internal ice cracks (frozen fractures), dense white cotton/veining, slight variations in color tone/shading, or minor surface polishing blemishes on occasional beads.
Premium Grade (Hand-Selected): Undergoes a strict secondary manual sorting process by our team. We 100% filter out and remove beads with heavy surface cracks, deep nicks, or noticeable shaping defects. This grade delivers a flawless visual appearance and premium feel, ideal for high-end boutique designers and Etsy artisan shops.
