Description from the seller
Obsidian – Rosary of the Christ the Redeemer – The Shield against Darkness – Strength and Salvation
This rosary, of contemplation and redemption, associates the deep dark of golden obsidian with the bright glow of its ornaments, in a composition imbued with solemnity and Christian spirituality.
It is composed of 61 round obsidian beads with golden and black hues, carefully polished, presenting a smooth and glossy surface. The stones reveal tones ranging from intense black to slightly smoked black, showing subtle golden reflections with bronze accents depending on their orientation and the light.
This particularity gives the overall piece a singular visual depth, where the dark nuances of the stones contrast with the luminosity of the golden elements.
A richly ornamented composition with numerous decorative gold elements, of varying shapes and sizes, which add relief and character to the piece.
Fine intercalary beads punctuate the rows of stones, while finely worked tubular elements feature raised decorations, composed of scrolls, stylized botanical motifs and chased embellishments.
Several larger-diameter beads structure the rosary. They are accentuated by openworked golden bowls with festooned contours, accompanied by small decorative beads that emphasize their roundness.
The alternation of black beads, golden ornaments, and different proportions creates a balanced ensemble, with a character that is both majestic and refined.

Important, the crucifix – Christ the Redeemer
At the center of the composition unfolds a golden crucifix representing the crucified Christ, a fundamental figure of the Christian faith and a symbol of redemptive sacrifice.
The body of Christ is depicted in relief, arms outstretched on the cross, head slightly inclined, in a posture evoking the Passion and self-offering.
The arms of the crucifix are adorned with engraved motifs and raised, chiseled-looking decorations that outline the cross and enrich its presentation.
At the top is the inscription INRI, abbreviation of Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.
The reverse also features decorative engraved motifs, giving a finished, refined touch to the pendant as a whole.
In Christian tradition, Christ the Redeemer embodies divine love, forgiveness, and the promise of salvation. The cross recalls the Passion of Christ, but also the hope of the Resurrection and the spiritual victory of life over death.
The golden obsidian – The Shield against Darkness
Born from the rapid cooling of volcanic lava, obsidian carries within it the image of the original fire transformed into stone.
Traditionally associated, in mineral beliefs, with protection against negative influences, grounding and inner strength, it is sometimes considered a symbolic shield against dark energies.
Its variety with golden reflections has a particularly evocative dimension: beneath a surface that appears black lie subtle glimmers, like a light rising from the depths of darkness.
This opposition between shadow and light echoes the Christian symbol of Redemption, where Christ represents hope, deliverance, and the victory of light over darkness.
The pairing of golden obsidian and the Christ the Redeemer thus lends this rosary a singular identity, uniting the symbolic power of the volcanic stone with the spiritual depth of the crucifix.
A composition with striking contrasts, where the intense black of the stones answers the glow of the golden ornaments, evoking protection, perseverance in faith, and salvation in the face of darkness.
