Knock on Wood: Precious Wooden Jewellery for Luck and Grounding
Would you consider swapping gold and gemstones for wood? Rachael Taylor speaks to the designers embracing this alternative jewellery material and discovers that – when sourced and treated in the right way – this familiar everyday material can be elevated to new luxurious heights.
Wood is integral to our lives. Be it the tables we sit at with friends or the front doors we pass through to do so, we have so many touchpoints throughout the day with this grounding material. And now, you can incorporate it into your jewellery collection as a growing number of jewellery designers seek out cuts of exclusive wood as an alternative to more traditionally precious materials.
