types of wood
Bali is a tropical island, full of trees, so wood is an abundant commodity. There are several different kinds of trees growing on the island. The ones that are most often used in wood jewelry making are coconut wood, sono and black Areng or ebony wood. There are so many coconut plantations in Bali, so this wood is the obvious choice. The beautiful stippled pattern of the coconut wood can be used to create very unique looking designs.
The shells of the coconut fruit can also be polished and used to create beautiful jewelry. Sono wood is generally a deep brown color, with golden streaks. This is a very durable wood, as it is heavy, hard and dense. Black Areng or ebony is also a dense wood, but this one is a very dark, almost black color. Both sono and black Areng are good for carving as they are so strong. They can dry up though so need to be kept well oiled.
wood earrings
Wood is a unique and exciting way to express your style, and is one of the oldest forms of material used for body piercing jewelry. Generally lightweight, wood jewelry allows your piercing to breathe and can cut down on infection. Wood absorbs sweat and natural oils, and is a good alternative to metal if you have metal allergies.
As well as body piercing plugs, wood can also be used to create beads as well as carved designs to be hung from your ears. Wood can be combined with resin to bring in some color. These wood earring designs can look great on anyone, young and old.

wood bracelets
Wood cuffs and bangles can be found all over the island and come in a variety of styles. There are colorfully painted ones, which are great for bringing a splash of color to your look. These can be worn alone, or in stacks on your wrist. They are an inexpensive way to accessorize, and as such, you can buy several to mix and match.
Wood bracelets look great and when worn with a day time outfit, they bring a touch of the exotic to your style. They can be worn in combination with a wood bead necklace and wood earrings. Some wood bracelet jewelry includes sterling silver decorations, which look stunning against the dark wood background.
how to care for wood jewelry
Wood should be oiled regularly to keep it from cracking and to prevent discoloration. Oil or wax can be used, and the most common oils used are olive, coconut or jojoba oil. Using oil may darken the wood slightly.
Avoid wearing wood jewelry in water, as it will expand, discolor and crack. Chemicals should also be avoided, so keep your jewelry away from perfumes and body lotions. Do not clean with alcohol or other harsh cleaners, a cloth and water should be sufficient.
