EARRING WOODS
Omerica purchases all its wood in an ethical manner. All the wood is bought from trusted sources that follow the rules set to protect woods that are in need of protection. Keep in mind that the value set on exotic hardwoods keep them protected because exotic and rare woods have
and hold a high value. They become more desirable and more accessible to tree farmers, tree farms help prevent the unnecessary removal
of these trees from their natural forest, thus protected many of our world forest and CO2 PRODUCTION. You can feel safe showing of these
beautiful woods because for each wood product sold in our shop, we have a tree planted in its honor. One hardwood tree can yield thou- sands of pieces of jewelry for us, which means that for each single tree cut down for our purposes, thousand gets planted in its place.
If you have any question or concerns please contact us. Thanks
KEEP IN MIND: Woods vary from board to board, so what you see on our sight may not look exactly the same as what you get. We try very hard to maintain consistency in our wood, but as wood products go, each piece will have its own character.

PINK IVORY
PINK IVORY
Pink Ivory wood is commercially one of the most rare woods in the world
It ranges from a deep rich pink to a light pink with subtle grain that can be
seen as straight or irregular. The grain color ranges from yellow to red to
grey. The finish on this extremely dense wood is glass-like and will retain
that for many years (with the proper care, of course).

WILD OLIVE
WILD OLIVE
Those of us here in the shop at Omerica will probably agree that this wood
is one of the most attractive woods of all. The grain is so strange and at the
time so contrasting to the heartwood, that you can just stare at a place on
a piece of wild olive for quite sometime. Olive woods takes a very high finish
and maintains its beauty for many many years.

GABOON EBONY
GABOON EBONY
Know as
one of the darkest wood on the planet, Ebony can have a
very
surprising look to it. Generally solid black, it can sometimes have light
streaks through it with a very irregular grain pattern. This wood is so
dense that it is one of the few woods that will actually sink in water!
The finish on Ebony is absolutely beautiful and clean, so much so,
that they can almost see yourself in it.

VERAWOOD
VERAWOOD
This wood is very natural looking, ranging from a rich green/brown/red to
a light, almost glowing green/yellow. Like Ebony, Vera will sink in water,
as it is the second densest wood in the world. The color has a tendency
to darken with time, especially when exposed to the sun (just an FYI)
this wood is beautiful when polished, it's just that simple.

HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD
Not to be confused with the place in California, we are talking about
the actual wood. We only use this wood for inlays due to the fact that
it has a tendency to get dirty when used as a main wood. In contrast
to ebony, Holly is very light in color (almost white) with little to no
grain, and is not very dense at all.
Odd Fact: When you sand this wood till it burns, it smells like butter.

CHECHEN
CHECHEN
When cut cross grain (like the image above), Chechen has a nice sheen to
it. The grain pattern and color is more predictable than most woods we carry,
usually having a light blonde color against a dark brown. The grain is fairly
uniform and straight, and when highly polished, looks very nice.Odd Fact:
The nickname Black Poison wood comes from the fact that the tree sap is
very irritating to the skin. (Don't worry, once dry the wood is harmless)

OSAGE ORANGE
OSAGE ORANGE
Osage wood ranges from a nice rich orange color, to a really bright,
almost yellow. The grain pattern is usually straight and just darker than the
heartwood with little spaces of darkness throughout. When cut cross grain,
it has an irridescent glow to it.
Fun Fact: The tree was first used as fence or barrier on farms (before the
advent of barbed wire) and got its name from the Osage tribe that resided
in the Oklahoma/Texas area. It is now found all throughout the U.S.

CHERRY
CHERRY
Often used as a wood in furniture making for finishing quality, Cherry is an
abundant wood found throughout the U.S. We use cherry here in our shop
only as an inlay wood because of its ease in cutting and gluing. The color
of cherry is very predictable, yellowish oranges / brown with slightly
darker grain and few small knots.

ZEBRAWOOD
ZEBRAWOOD
Zebrawood is known as such for a very obvious fact, it's grain resembles
the stripes of a Zebra. The grain, though crazy looking, is very predictable
with straight to bumpy grain lines. Because of its heavy grain it is a great
wood for gluing and is very strong & stable. A high polished finish and
good care will keep this wood looking great for a long time.
