You Wood?

Snow White: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the best dressed of them all? J-Lo? K-Moss? V-Beck? Col-Mac?

Mirror: Egads. Someone needs to branch out a bit.

Omniscient narrator: Start with The Branch, a line of contemporary jewellery designed by Wendy Pickard. Refreshingly different from much of what’s currently on the market, the sleek wooden pieces are made of Asian rosewood sourced from around the world (half of which is recycled) and finished with pure silver.

The bold designs — chunky square bangles, smooth disc earrings, bauble necklaces and studded dome rings — are all handcrafted. Which means that no two pieces are alike. (Do you hear that, Miss Copycat?)

Accessories that are both highly original and kind to the environment?

That should reflect rather well upon you.
