How To Pick The Right Wood Jewelry For You

By Iva Cannon


There are many reasons why people choose not to wear jewelry that is made out of precious metals. You may have an allergy to precious metals. You may also have concerns about how these metals are obtained and processed. If you are someone who wants beautiful and stylish accessories, you may be considering wood jewelry as an alternative. Here is what you need to know when shopping for and purchasing these beautiful pieces.

There are many different options on the market today. You can find some individual pieces or you can also find coordinating sets. You may find it easier to look for sets of matching pieces as you can then choose whether you want to wear the set as a whole or mix and match them with other items you own. If you want to select individual items, it can help to narrow down the search by deciding if you are in the market for a ring, a bracelet, a necklace or earrings.

Another way of narrowing your search is to decide whether you want a solid wood piece or one that is made from beads or wooden segments. Rings and bracelets are often made out of a single, carved piece whereas many necklaces are composed of smaller sections. This is to make them flexible enough that they can fit over your head and move with your body.

Beads can be a fantastic option for a number of reasons. They may be able to incorporate more than one type of material or even more than one color in a single piece. This can lend your necklace or bracelet more versatility as it may coordinate better with different clothes. However, you want to make sure that the string they are strung on is durable and that the knots will not let go if you wear the item on a regular basis.

You may want to think about whether you want your piece to just feature wood or to be made from a mixture of different materials. Some combine wooden sections with sections made out of stone or other materials. This can give a great look that would work well with many different outfits. Just keep in mind that stone sections can make a piece feel heavier than it would if it was just made out of wood. This can be an issue if you need to be careful about how heavy your jewelry is.

Rare wooden sections can look beautiful but if you are concerned about the environment you may want to ask the manufacturer some additional questions. You may want to ask where they got the wood from. Look for words such as sustainable and re-purposed. Both of these can give a good indicator that what you are buying is environmentally friendly.

Shopping can be a fun process especially if you know where to look. There are websites that can put you in contact with a number of different craftsmen who all work in this medium. These sites will often have an option where you can ask questions about switching out beads or where materials were sourced from.

It is not hard to find pieces that you will quickly fall in love with. Taking the time to do your research first and asking questions about the individual items can help ensure that you will end up with something that is comfortable to wear and which will not harm your skin or the environment.
