Irish Bog Yew Rectangle Stud Earrings | Handmade Earrings

Natural Irish Bog Yew stud earrings on a solid stainless-steel base.

Bog-wood is a material from trees that have been buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the acidic and anaerobic bog conditions, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. The wood is usually stained brown by tannins dissolved in the acidic water. Irish bog-yew usually ranges in age from 3000 to 8000 years old. The Irish climate was warmer and drier at that time in our history and when the climate changed to a wetter and damper era the roots lost their grip in the soggy soil and fell to the ground. The centuries-long process of the yew residing in the earth results in colour alteration from golden-brown to completely black. No two pieces of wood will ever be exactly the same colour.

Like no two pieces of bog yew being the same, each piece of jewellery is handcrafted to be completely bespoke, giving it a rustic finish. Designed with care, each piece is lightly brushed with linseed oil to enhance the yew’s rich colour.

The base is hypoallergenic and therefore safe for sensitive skin.
Please handle with care and avoid wearing in the shower or while swimming to maintain the quality of the handmade piece of jewellery. ♡
