The Essential Guide To Choosing And Buying Wood Jewelry

By Iva Cannon


For some people who may be allergic to precious metals, it may not be possible for them to wear traditional gold and silver pieces. This doesn't mean that they have to completely forgo wearing these beautiful accessories. If you are someone who wants to be able to wear rings, necklaces or other pieces, wood jewelry may be just what you are looking for. Here are tips and tricks that you can use to find beautiful and affordable pieces for your wardrobe.

One of the first things to consider is what type of jewelry you are looking for. This material can be used to make everything from rings to necklaces and bracelets. In fact, there is such a wide selection available that it can really help increase your chances of finding pieces you like if you are able to narrow down your search as much as possible.

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.

You should think about how any beads are strung. Most will be on a cord. The best necklaces and bracelets will have knots between each of the beads. This helps prevent you from losing all of them if the cord breaks. If you are allergic to metal it is important to find out what the clasp is made out of. If you love the way an item looks you may be able to swap out the clasp for one you will not react to.

If you do not see anything that is just wood that you like, you may want to consider items made from a mixture of materials. Rings, for example, may include wooden segments that are surrounded by precious metals. There may be bands of stone or other substances set into the piece as well which can also give a chic and beautiful appearance.

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.
