Crocodile Wood This subtle, light-colored wood is easy to carve due to its medium hardness, creating amazing organic jewelry, resulting in an amazingly smooth finish. The name "Crocodile Wood" comes from the tooth-shaped, knobby protrusions on the trunk of the tree, replicating the armor of a crocodile. Crocodile wood grows natively in subtropical areas all over the world. We only use cultivated Crocodile wood for our organic jewelry collection.

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.
