How To Pick The Right Wood Jewelry For You

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.

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.

Many people like the look that rare or exotic woods will give to the pieces that they wear. Some are grown in a very sustainable and responsible manner but others are not. If you have any concerns about the impact that these items will have on the environment, you may want to look for the words "recycled" or "repurposed" in the item description. If you are talking to the craftsman directly you may want to ask where they get the materials that they work with.

Once you know what kind of piece you want to buy, the fun of shopping begins. Look online as there are many different sites that offer this kind of jewelry. You will be able to find a variety of pieces that will look and feel good without destroying your budget. If you are crafty, you may want to look at buying individual beads and creating your own piece that you can wear with pride.

Wood is a fantastic alternative to metal or other materials. If you take the time and select items carefully you will be able to expand your jewelry wardrobe in new and exciting ways. Have fun shopping!
