How to Care for Wooden Jewelry: 5 Easy Tips to Keep It Beautiful
Wooden jewelry is warm, lightweight, and one-of-a-kind — and with just a little care, it can last for years to come. Whether you just bought your first pair of wooden earrings or you’re adding to your collection, these simple tips will help your pieces stay as stunning as the day you got them.
1. Keep It Dry
Wood and water don’t mix well. Be sure to remove your wooden jewelry before showering, swimming, or doing dishes. A splash won’t ruin it, but long exposure to water can dull the finish or cause warping over time.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight & High Heat
Like any natural material, wood can fade or dry out if left in strong sunlight or exposed to extreme temperatures. Store your jewelry in a cool, shaded place — a jewelry box, pouch, or drawer works great.
3. Store It Gently
To avoid scratches or dents, store your wooden pieces separately from metal jewelry or sharp objects. Bonus tip: toss in a little lavender sachet to keep things fresh and repel moisture.
4. Refresh the Finish Naturally
At PRWMade, we seal every piece with a custom blend of linseed oil and beeswax — eco-friendly and safe for skin. If your piece ever looks a little dry, just rub in a drop of natural oil (like walnut or olive) and gently buff with a soft cloth. No harsh cleaners needed.
5. Handle With Love
Wood may be sturdy, but it’s still a natural material. Treat it with care when removing or putting it on, and avoid tossing it in the bottom of a bag or letting it rattle around in a car cupholder (we see you).
Why It’s Worth It
Every piece of wooden jewelry from PRWMade is made to be worn — not just displayed. We want it to become part of your everyday style. A little love goes a long way toward keeping its beauty alive for years.
