\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear Jewelry Boxes, I know it’s been a while. I miss our good times together, finding the perfect pretty necklace to complement my outfit. But it seems like those days are long gone now that the kids are here. I know, I know. We’ll be together again, one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, so I’m not really sending “I Miss You” notes to my jewelry box. (The kids haven’t driven me that crazy yet.) But I do miss playing with the baubles I’ve collected over the years. With two little munchkins, I like other moms of little ones, can’t always wear their favorite accessories. <\/span> I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve actually worn any of my bracelets or dangly earrings since 2014 because of my grabby hand kids. So when I was recently offered the chance to wear\/review a JORD\u00a0Wood Watch<\/a>, I was a bit hesitant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"JORD<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

So You Say It\u2019s A Watch Made From\u2026Wood?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Yes, my new watch is made from wood. JORD\u00a0Wood Watches are unique timepieces that are designed with both sustainability and style in mind. Unlike other wood watches, a JORD\u00a0watch\u2019s band and case are completely made from wood.\"My<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

And they are GORGEOUS. If you haven\u2019t taken a look at these beauties, then hurry over to their site<\/span><\/a> after reading this post. Both men\u2019s and women\u2019s watches are available with several lines between the two of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

The watches are crafted from different types of wood \u2014 Ebony, Koa, Purpleheart, Zebrawood, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Maple and Bamboo. There are also different color faces to complement each band. The dome is produced from sapphire glass which is second only to diamond as the hardest and most scratch resistant materials on earth. Overall, you have quite a few options between your wood choice, band and face style and color. My watch is from the Frankie 35 Series<\/span><\/a> and is made from Zebrawood with a navy face.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I Like About My JORD\u00a0Wood Watch<\/span><\/h1>\n

1. Durability<\/span><\/h2>\n

I opted for the more feminine watch – a Frankie 35 because I have tiny, tiny wrists. I was concerned though that this watch would be too delicate given the little hands that live in my house. \"My<\/a>When I received it, I was surprised by\u00a0how light the watch\u00a0was given that it\u2019s made of wood. Even though it was fairly light, it still felt solid. The links, the face, the clasp, all seemed like they would be able to to endure 4 tiny little hands. And so far it has.\"Beautiful<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Process <\/span><\/h2>\n

Choosing which watch was the most difficult part of the process. Ordering it online was the easiest part. At first I was concerned about how I was going to get the right fit being that I wasn\u2019t making an in-person purchase. JORD\u00a0took care of that. There\u2019s a link on each of their product pages directing you to a PDF with the directions to measure your wrist. I printed out the PDF, measured my wrist and that was it. When I received my watch it fit like a glove. \"The<\/a>(Hmmm, gloves, watches, it all goes together right?) The watch did come with extra links, but I probably won\u2019t need them because the fit was perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Craftsmanship<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to the watch being unique and well crafted, the packing is\u00a0divine. I love the detail that went into the box. It\u2019s simple but just decorative enough to fit well with my other jewelry boxes.\u00a0\"The<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Downside <\/span><\/h1>\n

I\u2019ve had my watch for a week, I can safely say I love my watch. It\u2019s pretty eye-catching as I\u2019ve received several compliments on it. The kids haven\u2019t torn it apart. Heck if anything, I had to negotiate it\u2019s release from my son because he loves it too. (It was all tears and cries of \u201cWatch! Waaatch!\u201d from Westley. \"My<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

So there isn\u2019t too much I can say is problematic about the watch. The only concern I have is maintenance. First, do not\u00a0get this watch wet. Getting it\u00a0wet may cause it to crack when it dries. This is a challenge for me given the fact that I have kids so I\u2019m constantly washing my hands. Second, since it\u2019s a unique piece of jewelry, you\u00a0need\u00a0to clean\u00a0it differently than my other accessories. To keep the watch in in its original condition, JORD\u00a0recommends using Tung or Lemon oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

So aside from maintenance, I\u2019m pretty happy with my watch. (So are my jewelry boxes.) In my world of baby food pouches, sticky fingers and little time, it’s nice to have a piece of stunning jewelry that can endure everyday mommyhood\u00a0craziness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
