Olive Wood This is one of our most popular types of wood, one of the most suitable woods for piercing jewelry. Olive wood has a very fine, smooth texture to it and is a light creamy-beige color with black grains weaving through it. Olive wood also has a very distinctive, yet pleasant smell. The odor projects a recognizable odor, making it easy to detect. Another great characteristic of this wood has natural oils in it, that keeps it from drying out and makes it easier to carve and shape without any additional lubricants. This is just about as good as it gets as a material to use for organic jewelry.

Wood jewelry is lightweight, natural, and comes in a variety of types/colors. the surface is sanded/polished very smooth, it should be comfortable to wear. It is porous and does absorb moisture from the skin so keeping it oiled with natural oils (jojoba, vitamin E) will help - and prevent the wood from cracking or splintering. It is also important to keep wood jewelry from getting wet (such as in a shower, or when swimming). Wood jewelry cannot be sterilized or autoclaved.
