Bracelet Size Chart
Measure your wrist circumference and find your size below. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a comfortable fit.

How to Measure Your Wrist
- 1 Wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where you would normally wear a bracelet.
- 2 Mark the point where the tape or paper overlaps. Make sure it's snug but not tight — you should be able to fit one finger underneath.
- 3 If using paper, lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler. This is your wrist circumference.
- 4 Match your measurement to the size chart above. For a looser fit, add 0.5 – 1 cm to your wrist measurement.
Use a piece of string or strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist, mark the overlap, then measure the length against a ruler.
Bead Size Reference
The bead diameter affects the overall bracelet size and appearance. Here's a quick reference:
| Bead Size | Best For | Look & Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | Slim wrists / Delicate style | Subtle, elegant |
| 8 mm | Most wrists / Everyday wear | Balanced, classic |
| 10 mm | Medium to large wrists | Bold, noticeable |
| 12 mm | Large wrists / Statement piece | Chunky, powerful |
| 14 mm+ | Large wrists / Display pieces | Extra bold, ceremonial |
Ring Size Guide
Use the chart below to find your ring size. Measure your finger circumference and match it to the corresponding diameter.
How to Choose Your Ring Size
- If your finger circumference is around 2.17" (55 mm), we recommend selecting a ring with an inner diameter of 0.67" (17 mm).
- If your circumference is 2.20–2.24" (56–57 mm), choose a diameter of 0.71" (18 mm).
- For the most accurate measurement, visit a local jeweler to have your ring size professionally measured.
- If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, measure at the widest point of your knuckle. This ensures the ring can slide over comfortably while still fitting well when worn.
Measure your finger at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold or swollen. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.
All measurements are approximate. Natural stone and wood beads may have slight size variations. If you have any questions about sizing, please don't hesitate to contact us — we're happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Rainbow obsidian looks black until light hits it at the right angle — then green, violet, and gold ripple across the surface. That color is not a coating. It is the stone itself, formed when volcanic glass traps layers of magnetite nanoparticles during cooling. Light bounces between those layers and produces iridescence the same way a soap bubble does. In low light, the beads read as pure black. In direct light, they shift.
What Makes Rainbow Obsidian Different from Black
Both come from the same volcanic process. The difference is what got trapped inside during cooling. Black obsidian is dense and visually flat. Rainbow obsidian contains thin mineral inclusions that scatter light, producing those color bands. In folk tradition, the rainbow variety is said to carry the same protective quality as black obsidian but deliver it more gradually — less confrontational, more suited to people who find black obsidian too intense.
How to Wear It
The 8mm beads sit quietly on the wrist and disappear under a sleeve. The 10mm and 12mm sizes are the most common choice for everyday wear. From 14mm upward, the bracelet becomes more substantial — more weight, more surface area for the iridescence to show. There is no rule about which size to pick. It comes down to what feels right on your wrist.
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, or sweat — remove before swimming or bathing. Obsidian is volcanic glass and will chip or crack if dropped on hard surfaces.
