A Black Sun for Dark Shirts
Rays fan out around a black center stone on this sun-motif slide, finished with either silver or gold accents. Strung on a 39-inch (99 cm) leather cord, it dresses up more easily than most pieces in our catalog, which is why it opens our wedding shortlist.
Why the black stone works
The center stone is cut to mimic the deep gloss of obsidian — it is an imitation stone, and we list it that way in the specs below. Against that dark pool, the metal rays do the talking: the silver-accent version stays cold and formal, while the gold-accent version throws warmer light and pairs with browns and creams. Because the palette is just black plus one metal tone, the slide never fights a patterned shirt the way a turquoise-tone piece can.
Where to wear it
This is our first recommendation for wedding guests who were told the dress code but not what to do with it. A black stone on a white or pale-blue shirt photographs cleanly, and the sun motif keeps the piece from reading as plain office jewelry. It also holds its own over a black button-up at a concert. More options for the occasion sit in our wedding bolo ties collection, and slide placement is covered in our guide to how to wear a bolo tie.
What to know before you buy
The slide body is zinc alloy with a plated finish, and the black center is an imitation stone — not obsidian, not onyx. At this price you are paying for the design and the leather cord, not for mineral value. Keep it away from perfume and hairspray, which dull plated finishes faster than daily wear does. If you need a hallmarked metal for an heirloom gift, this piece is not that.

Asked about this sun slide
Should I pick the silver or the gold accents?
Match your other hardware. If your watch, belt buckle, and rings run silver, take the silver version; if you wear warm metals or mostly earth tones, the gold accents blend in better.
Is the black stone actually obsidian?
No. It is an imitation stone with an obsidian-style gloss set on a zinc-alloy base — the look of the material without its price or its fragility.
Can I wear it to a black-tie-optional wedding?
As a guest, yes: over a solid dress shirt with a dark suit, it reads as a deliberate accessory. We would skip it only under a strict black-tie dress code.
