Northwest Crocodile Tears

Wood: All of our jewelry is made from wood sourced from small urban sawmills, primarily English Walnut from Urban Wood Rescue in Sacramento, CA. Typically, when trees are removed from urban areas, the logs get sent to the landfill. We work with urban sawmills to make sure that beautiful wood from those logs doesn’t go to waste! Our wood starts as large live-edge slabs, we mill them into thin sheets ourselves, then sand, laser cut/engrave, and finish the earrings by hand.

 

Ear wires: Our ear wires are hand bent using 22-gauge sterling silver headpins.

 

Inlay: The beautiful colored inlays are made from cork fabric. Cork is a sustainable product made from the bark of a specific type of oak tree. We source our cork fabric directly from manufacturers in Portugal and small resellers in the USA.

 

Care: Avoid getting your earrings wet (even when finished, wood tends to move and twist when it gets saturated). Also, because we use sterling silver for our ear wires, you may see some tarnishing over time. Just wipe them down with a polishing rag and they’ll look good as new.
