These Earrings are hand-crafted from 2,000-year-old Bogwood. Bogwood is an ancient, preserved wood that was submerged under water for hundreds of years prior to the artist crafting it into unique jewelry. The bog conditions turn the wood a beautiful darkened color as the result of a chemical reaction that occurs over time. The wood is then hand carved into is a stunning set of earrings with a light weight sensation and stone-like appearance.
Made with Bogwood, Sterling Silver or Gold plated wire and assorted beads.
Various styles available
Made in PA USA.
From the Artist:
“For many years I was searching for a material and process to reconnect with my design roots and personal creative expression. Always drawn to wood and furniture building, I discovered turning. Nothing measures up to the excitement and discovery of peeling away layers of wood and exposing hidden treasures in grain, texture, and color. Major influences in my work come from studying art history and twentieth-century masters. Observing simple and elegant forms, textures, and patterns and viewing nature have inspired organic relevance that can all be seen throughout my work.” - Alan Adler
