It's alright
This bracelet is a bit stiffer than I expected. The obsidian looks fine, but the bracelet feels bulky whenever I put it on. I can't quite figure out what it is, but something is off about it. The dangling cords also don't help. I get that it's part of the design... But it's inelegant.<br /><br />Speaking of ugliness, the pendant that comes with it - which I didn't realize it did until I opened the box - is a nice touch... in theory. In practice, the cheap cord the lapis stone is tied to looks like discarded shoelace and the metal rod that goes through the stone is so roughly made that it made me wish they had just not added the pendant... Or alternatively just given away a rock without an ugly metal rod passing through it and cheap shoelace attached to it all. I guess this is one of those cases when more isn't always better. I might give it to a child, or toss it.
