{"product_id":"black-protocol-obsidian-labradorite-bracelet","title":"Black Protocol: Black Obsidian, Black Labradorite \u0026 Refined Copper Bracelet for Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Protocol is a black obsidian and black labradorite bracelet for men, with silver-tone hematite, Japanese TOHO colored-glaze and a fishhook clasp. Its refined copper components have a 14k white gold coating, adding a separate metal finish to the dark material combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark wardrobe can still include different surfaces. Black Protocol brings several materials into that familiar palette. Choose it when you want grey and metallic contrasts in a black bracelet, especially beside a steel watch or black leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy combine several dark materials?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack obsidian supplies the deep black character, while black labradorite brings a smoky grey impression through the dark palette. Silver-tone hematite adds metallic contrast, with Japanese TOHO colored-glaze as a further detail. The result gives a charcoal or navy sleeve more variation than an uninterrupted black accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the materials and metal finish?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack obsidian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack labradorite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver-tone hematite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese TOHO colored-glaze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody components in refined copper with a skin-friendly, tarnish-resistant 14k white gold coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA refined copper fishhook clasp with a skin-friendly, tarnish-resistant 14k white gold coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper body components and fishhook have the same stated coating. Silver-tone hematite is another material in its own right. If you are specifically shopping for sterling silver, note this distinction: Black Protocol's metal construction is coated refined copper, and its silver-colored details should be understood in those terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack obsidian should also be kept distinct from black onyx when comparing designs. Similar colors do not make the stones interchangeable. Compare the full combination and clasp with simpler, single-material designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow can Black Protocol work with everyday clothes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a day that moves from the office to dinner, try it with a charcoal shirt and a navy jacket. The bracelet keeps the palette dark while bringing detail near the cuff. A watch with a black leather strap makes a natural companion, especially if you place it on the opposite wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith weekend clothing, a washed cotton overshirt and dark trousers give the different materials an informal setting. If the overshirt has a strong pattern, wear the bracelet alone. If the clothing is plain, one understated ring can echo the metal without making the accessories feel like a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere can be a small pleasure in changing just one thing before heading out: swapping a work shirt for a knit top and fastening the bracelet for the evening. Black Protocol belongs to the Urban Stoic Series, but its personal meaning can be as ordinary as that shift from appointments to time spent with people you chose to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich size should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrist circumference options are 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, 19 cm and 20 cm, plus Customized Size. Wrap a flexible tape around the bare wrist where the bracelet will sit. Keep the tape against the skin without pulling it tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the nearest whole-centimeter wrist option and round an exact half up: 17.4 cm selects 17 cm; 17.5 cm selects 18 cm. Do not add extra centimeters for wearing room. You can order using your own measurement; customer service is available if you would like help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/mens-bracelet-size-guide\"\u003emen's bracelet size guide\u003c\/a\u003e to measure your bare wrist. If the rounded size is not listed, choose Customized Size and provide your actual wrist circumference. See the \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/refund-policy\"\u003eReturn \u0026amp; Refund Policy\u003c\/a\u003e for custom-size conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe selected wrist measurement is different from the bracelet's finished length. A gift buyer should obtain the recipient's wrist measurement, particularly if the bracelet will often be worn beside a watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the fishhook directly when putting the bracelet on or taking it off. Support the adjacent components rather than pulling on the stone sections, and avoid repeatedly bending the hook. With a watch, leave enough separation that the clasp and case do not rub together as your wrist moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you care for stones and coated copper together?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove Black Protocol before showering, swimming, strenuous exercise or work that involves hard impacts. Keep perfume, lotion and household chemicals away from the bracelet. After wearing, wipe the assembled piece gently with a clean, soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore it separately from abrasive surfaces and other jewelry. Avoid strong metal polish, chemical dips or aggressive rubbing on the coated components. The coating is described as tarnish-resistant; a gentle routine and less friction help you look after its surface without treating it as an uncoated solid-metal piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat else helps with the decision?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a useful gift for someone who mostly wears black?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be, particularly if they enjoy differences in material more than bright color. Notice whether they prefer a clasp and whether their usual accessories have cooler metal finishes. Those observations, together with the right wrist measurement, make the choice specific to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you wear it alone or in a stack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart alone so you can appreciate the individual materials. If adding another piece, keep the combination comfortable and leave room for the fishhook. A quieter companion lets the obsidian, labradorite and hematite remain the main interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASIA'NOBLE","offers":[{"title":"15cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781757736,"sku":"SC-HYS-320","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781790504,"sku":"SC-HYS-321","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781823272,"sku":"SC-HYS-322","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781856040,"sku":"SC-HYS-323","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781888808,"sku":"SC-HYS-324","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20cm Wrist","offer_id":51746781921576,"sku":"SC-HYS-325","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Customized Size(final-sale)","offer_id":52153866748200,"sku":"SC-HYS-326","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/2021\/4568\/files\/007a-asia-noble-black-beaded-bracelet_Webp.webp?v=1778494084","url":"https:\/\/asia-noble.com\/products\/black-protocol-obsidian-labradorite-bracelet","provider":"ASIA'NOBLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
