Product Insights
Tateossian's Nepal Nugget Obsidian Bracelet delivers a designer-resolved composition of rhodium-plated sterling silver and obsidian beads with satisfying heft, rooted in the brand's English heritage of unconventional materials. However, the beads' 5–5.5 Mohs hardness makes them scratchable by harder materials, and the elastic cord requires restringing after roughly a year, with care to avoid water and chemicals. At $435 CAD, it undercuts comparable stone beaded bracelets from Miansai and AWNL, offering a refined point of view for those willing to accept the tradeoffs in durability and maintenance.
Verified claims
- Hardness
- Beads are 5–5.5 Mohs hardness, so scratchable by harder materials.
- Heft
- Density of 2.35–2.40 g/cm³ gives beads a satisfying heft.
- History
- Stone named after Roman explorer Obsius, documented by Pliny the Elder.
- Rhodium plating
- Rhodium plated sterling silver resists tarnish and scratches, is hypoallergenic, and uses a metal rarer than gold.
- Brand heritage
- English jewellery house known for unconventional materials and design authority.
- Competitive context
- Priced below comparable designer stone beaded bracelets from Miansai and AWNL.
- Price comparison
- At $435 CAD, it undercuts Miansai ($795 USD) and AWNL (~$690 CAD).
- Design approach
- Designer-resolved composition, unlike Azuro Republic's custom builder.
- Water and chemical care
- Remove before swimming or showering and avoid lotions and perfumes to protect the cord and rhodium.
- Elastic cord care
- Use the roll-on method and wear on non-dominant hand; expect restringing after about a year.
- Sizing
- For 5.3mm bead bracelet, large (19cm) for 17-18cm wrists.
- Restringing
- Elastic cord can be restrung after about a year to restore fit.
