Handmade Sterling Silver Black and Tan Petrified Wood Bezel Gemstone Cufflinks

Petrified wood forms in the earth when trees or tree-like plants are buried under sediment or volcanic ash. If this happens in an oxygen-free environment where mineral-laden water is present, then, over time, the tree may become a three-dimensional stone representation of its original structure.

Petrified wood is one of our favourite gemstones because it is one of the only instances in nature where stone takes on the softer feel of organic material. It is truly wood frozen in time.

Each piece of petrified wood is unique - As you can see in the pictures, each stone looks vastly different. We have two round pairs and one barrel/soft rectangular shaped pair in stock! To make these cufflinks, the bezels for the  stones were hand-fabricated in our downtown Toronto studio.
