This necklace looks and feels so soft energetically, but holds so much power. Soon after starting to wear it I felt much more centered and confident. Obsidian can be harsh, but this one feels grounding and supportive. I love the quality and the little Otter Spirit tag makes it look elegant.
The bracelets are beautiful but what I like best is this company has different size beads and bracelets so I can get one that fits my petite wrist. I did measure my wrist and was 6”, so I ordered the medium thinking it wouldn’t be loose at all. They do still move a little, but not as much as “one size fits all”. I was tempted to try the small but maybe on my next order!
These bracelets are beautiful, and have nice energy. I always cleanse my personal jewelry with intention and incense before wearing.The protection of the obsidian is certainly needed and appreciated, and the astrological meanings for myself and my sons with the lapis lazuli, rainbow tourmaline and garnet is wonderful too. I have more bracelets on the way!
Love everything about this company the jewelry and the customer service is phenomenal. I wear mine every day and recommend them highly. Plus it is nice knowing some of the money goes to help the cute little otters 🦦
A beautiful bracelet, made with high quality obsidian. I have to say that I'm a little concerned about the strength of the cord, though. It seems very fragile, and I'd hate it to break on me! Time will tell.
As I've said before about other items I've bought from Otter Spirit, I love the quality of the stones. Packaging and shipping was excellent. All together a great shopping experience.
Love, love, love my goodies!
I've bought a few items from Otter, and impressed by the promptness of delivery, the amazing support from staff but above, all the quality of gems!
