Friday Findings: Going with the Grain

I love wearing wood jewelry in the summer and since summer is fast on the approach, I thought that this week…I'd go with the grain for a change! So on my travels through the amazing online marketplace, Etsy, I found some collection of fantastic wooden adorments to share with you today. This week's picks offer contemporary, modern looks as well as the exciting three-dimensional texture and organic appeal that's inherent to wood. So without further ado, enjoy today's Friday Findings showcase:

Omerica Organics is a small company that specializes in high quality wood body and jewelry adornments created with 100% wind energy.

Available from omerica.etsy.com. To see a larger selection of their products, visit the Omerica Organics website at : www.omericaorganic.com.

I love the clean and modern lines of these dramatic earrings. The pair is hand carved and fabricated from dark Ebony and measure 2" in length. They hang from sterling silver french wire earring hooks and are available at miostudio.etsy.com, a shop run by artists Muñiz and Erica Millner who hand carve and sand every piece in their collection.

Woody
RAAW

These gorgeous grain and gold combination has an airy and light style. The pair is designed by RAAW, a Los Angeles-based mother and two daughter team who create a variety of delightful pieces inspired by nature. RAAW designs have been sold at a number of trendy boutiques including Lisa Kline in Los Angeles, CA and Sirens & Sailors in Echo Park. Their designs are also available online at raawjewelry.etsy.com.

Birch Bark Earrings
Dreamspiralart

I love the mixture of deep wood color and timeless texture in this pretty pair created by a metal jewelry artist from Richmond, VA. She creates wearable art from an unassuming studio behind a 100-year old farmhouse. This pair is created with birch bark sealed in clear resin and set into sterling silver. Each circle is approximately 8mm in diameter and the pair is 1" in length. It can be purchased with sterling silver posts or earring wires. Available from dreamspiralart.etsy.com.

Well...although I really "wood" love to show you more, its time to get the weekend started Posh Pals! So if today's collection left you feeling inspired, please leave a comment to let our featured artists know the pieces you enjoyed most. Have a happy Friday!
