Hot Product: Orno Jewelry, Wooden Whorls To Wear

Ancient geometries meet the here and now in the wooden jewelry of Etsy seller/jewelry designer Orno, who hails from Montreal, Canada. To make each piece, the Orno takes a simple, flat plank of exotic wood (such as unstained walnut, mahogany, or purpleheart), and uses a laser-cutting technique to cut each bit of wood into intricate, lacy constructions that are actually the result of manipulating and rotating simple geometric shapes, like teardrops and circles. Orno finishes each piece of wood for her jewelry by hand, carefully sanding and coating each piece with only clear varnish, in order to bring out the characteristic natural color and grain of the wood itself. The wooden shapes are then joined to metal and thread findings to form her signature fashion-forward adornments. If you are looking for unique jewelry that makes a smart, sophisticated statement, follow the lead of several fashion-savvy Stylehivers and give Orno's offerings a look-see.

    I really like to have these earrings as part of my everyday fashion. It comes simple yet stylistic and I just love it. Oh come one, this style comes from again from one of the best montreal jewelry designers. No wonder the jewelry appeals to my taste. I can't wait to buy them.
