Wood Chip Jewelry

Wood Chip Jewelry


The wood chips in this collection have a special place in my heart. Each year, I visit my family in South Georgia where I grew up. While there, my kids and I, with my dad, spend time trampling through the woods of my family’s farm to hand select each stick. We have such a great time together exploring nature. It brings me so much joy to add a little piece of my family memories to my designs.

Once I’m back home in Texas, I cut, drill, and hand sand each piece. You will find several native Georgia tree varieties throughout this collection, such as; wild cherry, evergreen, tangerine tree, wax myrtle, etc. Although, pine and cedar are among my favorite varieties from Georgia, I usually stay away from them for jewelry since they both have such strong scents.

The wood chips selected for this collection are great for absorbing your favorite essential oil.  During cold season, I love adding a little eucalyptus and on-guard to my necklace to keep my sinuses clear. I also add a little oil to my bag swag that I hang from my car rearview mirror.

I hope you enjoy these designs as much as I do!

Much Love,
Tonya
