For some people who may be allergic to precious metals, it may not be possible for them to wear traditional gold and silver pieces. This doesn't mean that they have to completely forgo wearing these beautiful accessories. If you are someone who wants to be able to wear rings, necklaces or other pieces, wood jewelry may be just what you are looking for. Here are tips and tricks that you can use to find beautiful and affordable pieces for your wardrobe.

You may want to consider what type of piece you are in the market for. This can help you narrow down your choices and make it easier for you to home in on a particular item that you really love. It will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed by the many different options that are available on the market today.

Some items are made from single pieces of wood. These will include bangles and rings. They may feature intricate carving or inset sections of stones or metal. If you are dealing with metal allergies, you will want to make sure that any gold or silver in the piece does not come in direct contact with your skin. This could cause a reaction. If you want a necklace, you may find that most options will be made out of beads rather than a single, solid wooden piece.

Beads can be a fantastic option for a number of reasons. They may be able to incorporate more than one type of material or even more than one color in a single piece. This can lend your necklace or bracelet more versatility as it may coordinate better with different clothes. However, you want to make sure that the string they are strung on is durable and that the knots will not let go if you wear the item on a regular basis.

It is not uncommon to find a mixture of wooden and stone beads. These can add a lot of visual interest. If there are metal beads that are used, make sure you find out what kind of metal they are made out of. Again, a small amount of metal can lead to a very big skin reaction.

Some pieces are made with rare wood. This can look beautiful but can mean that a piece can be quite expensive. If you worry about environmental concerns you may want to look for pieces that use recycled materials such as piano keys for ebony. This can still result in an item that is beautiful but which does not have a negative impact on the environment.

Shopping can be a fun process especially if you know where to look. There are websites that can put you in contact with a number of different craftsmen who all work in this medium. These sites will often have an option where you can ask questions about switching out beads or where materials were sourced from.

Wood is a fantastic alternative to metal or other materials. If you take the time and select items carefully you will be able to expand your jewelry wardrobe in new and exciting ways. Have fun shopping!
