Wooden Wedding Anniversary necklace

Wooden Wedding Anniversary meaning.

The 5th wedding anniversary is associated with wood. The idea came from the term spooning, which actually refers to romancing. The wood represents strength and a solidified relationship and wooden spoons are a common gift used for this anniversary and right now I would like to raise a question - who would like to receive a wooden spoon on the 5th wedding anniversary!? I am thinking - men but not woman!

So dear men or husbands, please be more generous and buy a lovely wooden necklaces or 

at least earrings. We (women) don't want any wooden spoons... 

I would recommend a necklace in red, pink and purple colours as the red colour symbolises good luck happiness, joy and  long life. Pink is colour of love and purple brings luck and fame.

Please visit my shop for some wooden wedding ideas.

How to care of wooden jewellery?

Taking care of your wooden jewellery is easy to do and simple. It does not take up much of your time too.
There are three simple options:

1.Clean with a damp cloth but then dry it immediately. Remember - Do not soak your jewellery in water as it may swell.

2.You can also clean wood jewellery with tea tree oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil which will leave nice aroma on your jewellery.

3. or us a simple olive oil which probably you have stocked in your kitchen. 

Applying oil will shine the wood and it will also protect from extreme temperatures on hot summery day.

After all store in a cool, dark, and dry box. Do not store your wood jewellery on a sunny window sill as they will be exposed to extreme temperatures and will start drying and cracking...
