Wooden Jewelry
Hand crafted wood jewelry can be a more cheaper alternative to expensive diamonds and gold while providing the same stylish look. Wood jewelry can come in many types of wood.
Some of the popular types of wood used in jewelry are: Maple, Padauk, Redheart, Cherry, Mahogany, Granadillo, Hondouran Rose, Walnut, Chechen, Ebony, Holly, and Dymondwoods. Each of these is a different color, and you should choose them to your own preference. Maple is close to white, Padauk is a dark reddish color, Redheart is a lighter red color, Cherry is a light shade of brown, Mahogany is brown, Grandillo is brown/orange, Honodouran Rose is a medium brown with a little purple, Walnut and Chechen are both very dark brown, Ebony is blackish, Holly is the lightest in color and is almost pure white, and Dymondwoods comes in an array of shades.
There are many types of wood jewelry available. Wooden bracelets combine elegance and fashion. A lot of wooden bracelets also contain beautiful gemstones. With just twenty five dollars, you can get a wonderful wooden bracelet with black onyx gemstones. There are many types of bracelets out there like ones with amethyst gemstones, rainbow beads, and silver.
If you’re not looking for bracelets, wooden earrings make fantastic gifts. Types of wooden earrings include post earrings, dangle earrings, threader earrings, and wood bead earrings. A gorgeous wood bead with 14k gold filled wire is only eighteen dollars. Gemstones can also be incorporated into wooden earrings like black onyx, jasper, and agate. Other natural elements also can be added such as feathers.
Wooden necklaces have been very successful in the fashion world. Necklaces are often a combination of laminated wood beads and glossy gemstones. Wires can be sterling silver or 14k gold filled depending on your preference. Necklaces are the most expensive of all wood jewelry but are still much cheaper than gold or silver. A stunning wooden necklace with laminated wood beads and amethyst would only cost sixty dollars.
Wooden hair barrettes were first used by the Native Americans. Now, they are still very popular and widely available. Hand carved hair barrettes come in many different forms including feather shaped and natural all wood. Colors can vary from agate to teal.
