Snowflake Obsidian’s Little Garden of Light
Light skims the glossy beads of this snowflake obsidian bracelet, picking out irregular patches of pale grey and white against black. Rounded outlines shift towards oval and barrel-like shapes, giving the piece a gently varied rhythm. The mottled, speckled markings keep the dark surfaces from looking uniform.
Its palette suggests an imagined terraced garden at night: pale leaves above dark paths, small clearings between shadowed beds. Across the beads, the whitish patches become those clearings, and the reflected light catches like little lamps along the winding steps.
