The Essential Guide To Choosing And Buying Wood Jewelry

By Iva Cannon


While it can be fun to expand your wardrobe with many different types of accessories, few can be as special as the right piece of jewelry. However, once you have a few options to choose from it can be hard to find new and exciting options to expand your wardrobe. If this is something you are dealing with, you may want to consider wood jewelry as a way to get a new look without destroying your budget.

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.

Some items are made from single pieces of wood. These will include bangles and rings. They may feature intricate carving or inset sections of stones or metal. If you are dealing with metal allergies, you will want to make sure that any gold or silver in the piece does not come in direct contact with your skin. This could cause a reaction. If you want a necklace, you may find that most options will be made out of beads rather than a single, solid wooden piece.

If you do decide that you want to have items made out of beads, it is important to pay attention to what they are strung on and what is holding the item shut. You want to make sure that any closures or clasps are not made out of a material that you will react to. It can be surprising how little metal you need in order to have an allergic reaction.

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.

Some pieces are made with rare wood. This can look beautiful but can mean that a piece can be quite expensive. If you worry about environmental concerns you may want to look for pieces that use recycled materials such as piano keys for ebony. This can still result in an item that is beautiful but which does not have a negative impact on the environment.

Now that you have a few guidelines to consider, it is time to begin your search. You may want to try local galleries or shops that may be manned by craftsmen. It can be very satisfying to know that you are supporting a local artist by buying their work. If you do not have that option, you may find that the internet is your best source for options. Try looking on a variety of different websites to get a feel for what is available and what the average price is as well.

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.
