Lava Stone

Pierre de Lave, Obsidienne & Pyrite – Orthodox Necklace – The Sacred Golgotha – The Light of Redemption. This necklace, conceived with a unique design inspired by Orthodox Christian tradition, stands out for its solemn character, blending the depth of black stones with the golden shine of its ornaments and the rich iconography of a finely crafted crucifix. It is composed of 93 beads of lava stone, obsidian, and pyrite, in round and pebble shapes, harmoniously arranged in a sequence of volumes, textures and contrasts. The lava stone beads, generously sized, display a deep black hue, ranging from anthracite to matte black. Their naturally irregular surface, marked by fine cavities and small projections, reveals a characteristic volcanic texture, sometimes porous, sometimes smoother. The obsidian beads, with an intense, glossy black, offer a polished surface with glassy reflections, creating a subtle contrast with the rough, mineral look of lava stone. The whole is punctuated by hammered, honeycomb-like golden beads, bringing warm metallic reflections and an ornamental dimension to the composition. Small interspersed golden beads complete this arrangement. At the center of the necklace unfolds a massive gilded Orthodox cross with eight extremities, richly carved in relief. It represents the crucified Christ, surrounded by two saints traditionally identified as the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist. Its upper part features finely chiseled religious ornaments, while at the base appears the skull of Adam, symbolizing the Golgotha and the redemption of humanity. The reverse, also decorated with relief motifs, bears the Cyrillic inscription “СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ”, meaning “Save and Protect,” an invocation traditional to the Orthodox faith. This crucifix evokes the sacrifice of Christ, the victory over death, and the hope of eternal life. Through the intensity of its black stones, the warmth of its golden ornaments, and the richness of its crucifix, this necklace expresses a profound spiritual dimension. A creation of character, where the memory of Golgotha, the mystery of Redemption, and the hope of Eternal Life meet.
