Wooden jewelry

From time immemorial, back in the Stone Age, people have been making simple jewelry from natural materials to emphasize their individuality, status and beauty. In the modern world, there are a great many materials from which jewelry is made, but more and more people prefer jewelry made from natural natural materials. One of these very popular materials is wood.

Why is wood jewelry so attractive? The fact is that, like any natural material, wood has a special energy and jewelry made from it can become an excellent assistant and amulet for their owner.

Let's look at the features of jewelry made from different types of wood and their magical properties:

• Cherry decorations bring good luck and contribute to the achievement of your plans;

• The hornbeam is an excellent assistant for timid, indecisive people - it gives them confidence, courage, perseverance. Increases the level of internal stamina and helps to resist routine and boredom;

• Oak jewelry, on the contrary, is recommended for resolute, energetic people, since oak tends to enhance the already existing energy. Also, oak jewelry brings good luck and helps to direct thoughts in the right direction;

• The plum tree helps to restore the energy balance, relieves emotional stress and helps to make the right informed decisions;

• Tropical wood jewelry, such as sandalwood, has long been considered magical, helping to gain self-confidence and inner strength;

• The ash tree is famous for freeing the human mind from negativity, helping to “unravel” difficult life situations and allowing its owner to look at the problem from a different angle.

beads. In the traditional sense, beads are a series of round balls strung on a thread. In the case of making them from wood, the range of beads is very, very huge.

The following variations are possible:

• small wooden beads of one or several colors strung on a thread, and in the center - a large interesting pendant;
• not round, but square, oval, rectangular beads;
• a combination in one string of beads of several bizarre elements, different in shape, color and size.

Earrings. There are the following types:

• small earrings, including several pieces of wood of different colors;
• long pendant earrings;
• large massive earrings.

Bracelets. Wooden bracelets are carved from a single piece of wood and shaped or made up of several beads, stringing them on an elastic band.

Wood is a natural material, so each type of wood has its own unique color. When wooden jewelry is made, most often they are simply varnished for preservation, leaving them with beautiful pristine patterns.

Wooden jewelry is often made with inserts from other materials. Let's see which of them the tree harmoniously coexists with, and which are better not to use in combination with it:

• wooden elements of different breeds are very well combined in one decoration. As a rule, wood inserts of various colors and textures are chosen for the combination;

• in combination with metal, very spectacular decorations are obtained. Metal inserts look best in gold and aged silver;

• leather, like wood, is distinguished by a variety of colors and textures, so this is also a very successful combination of materials;

• wonderful decorations are obtained by combining wood and epoxy resin. Such gizmos can be made even with your own hands. For example, cut blanks of interesting earrings from plywood and fill them with resin. Due to the fact that the consistency of epoxy resin varies from liquid to thick mass, it is possible to create both voluminous and flat decorations;

• wooden jewelry with inserts made of natural stones look interesting and expensive. A particularly successful combination is a wooden ring with a large bright stone;

• but wood is not friendly with plastic and other artificial materials. Such jewelry looks cheap and ridiculous.

The style of clothing also plays an important role in the selection of the design of wooden jewelry. Initially, they were worn only with ethno-style outfits, but modern fashion allows a combination with classics, avant-garde, and casual style.

Below are some very successful combinations of wooden jewelry with women's clothing. Consider them:

• A simple plain turtleneck or tank top plus linen trousers. For this image, you need to pick up a set of long beads and two bracelets worn on one hand. It is not recommended to wear earrings in addition. If you still want to wear them, remove the beads;

• A sundress made of cotton or linen with an ornament in ethnic style will wonderfully complement long large beads made of wood. It is also recommended to complete the hippie look with a straw hat and a woven bag with a long strap;

• In a "cowboy" look - jeans with a plaid shirt and "Cossack" boots - you can safely include round wooden earrings or beads and complement it with a large leather bracelet.
