about THE WORK

Silvatica Designs’ unique wooden jewelry cultivates a desired and necessary connection to nature by bringing the serenity of the forest into our customers’ daily lives.  

Handcrafted from sustainably and locally-sourced materials, our one-of-a-kind products resonate with the conscientious consumer who desires high quality, environmentally-friendly, and customizable accessories.

Our creative process begins in the forest and firewood stacks, where we intentionally seek wood otherwise considered defective. Qualities deemed undesirable in the forest products industry, such as knots, rot, and insect damage, provide the variation and character which make each piece unique. Our jewelry is cut and shaped to capture and accentuate these features. As a result, every item we create has its individual eccentricities and cannot be replicated or reproduced.

As part of our commitment to operating an environmentally ethical business, our products are made from locally sourced hardwoods and finished with all natural tung oil unless stated otherwise. Additionally, one dollar from each purchase is donated to an environmentally focused non-profit. Click here for more information.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

SOURCING THE WOOD

All wood used in our designs is personally collected by us or friends and family members in Ohio and New England. The majority of pieces come from already dead and dying trees or limbs, as the early stages of decay are one of the primary sources of the variations in grain and color featured in our jewelry.

RECYCLED MATERIALS

At Silvatica Designs we strive to reduce our environmental footprint by utilizing recycled materials whenever possible, including in our business cards, gift bags, and boxes.
