{"product_id":"obsidian-arrowhead-hoop-earrings","title":"Obsidian Arrowhead Hoop Earrings | Raw Arrowhead | Handcrafted Electroformed Copper | Made to Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese obsidian arrowhead hoop earrings pair one of the oldest tool materials on earth with the warmth of electroformed copper. Each raw obsidian arrowhead hangs inside a copper hoop, deep black against warm antique metal, the arrowhead form carrying its ancient meaning of direction and protection into something you can wear every day. Obsidian has been shaped into arrowheads by human hands for thousands of years. This is a piece for the person who wants that history close, grounded in the body, not just the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eObsidian is associated with grounding, protection, and clarity. Root chakra. Wear it when you need to feel steady and clear.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Obsidian\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eObsidian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eObsidian Arrowhead Hoop Earrings: Materials \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural obsidian arrowhead, deep black.

I hand-select and match every arrowhead for its form and deep color, then encase each one in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, and the hoop is formed and finished by hand. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone earring pair from this studio is one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Stone Matching\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGift Packaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery order arrives gift-ready with natural materials and a handwritten note card.
