A Jewelry Lover's Guide To Purchasing 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.

You may want to consider what type of piece you are in the market for. This can help you narrow down your choices and make it easier for you to home in on a particular item that you really love. It will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed by the many different options that are available on the market today.

You should also decide whether you want a piece that is fashioned out of solid wood or out of beads that are strung on another material. If you want a ring or a bracelet you should be able to find solid wooden pieces but necklaces may be made out of beads rather than one single piece.

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.

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.

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.

You may find that over time, you begin to prefer this material to other, more common materials used in jewelry making. You may also find that your pieces attract a lot of positive attention as well. Make good choices and you can enjoy them for years to come.
