Conceived and created by a Brooklyn, NY-based industrial designer Vanessa Chew, the ROOTS Wooden Jewelry is a unique collection of jewelry items made of off-cuts from previous designs which, otherwise, were destined to go down the sewers. Available at Etsy
, the unique wooden jewelry is extremely safe and eco friendly.
Her wooden jewelry was selected by BMW i as a Good Goods Partner during the BMW i Born Electric Tour New York 2012. The jewelry collection includes pendant necklaces, pendants and earrings. Starting at around $30 and going as high as $192, the jewelry pieces are made using non-toxic adhesive, natural oil finish, wool felt, gold-filled chain, findings, surgical steel and repurposed wood. Just to ensure that the natural beauty of wood, each piece is hand-sanded and oiled.
