Palmwood

Palmwood in Jewelry Making
Petrified Palmwood is a unique and striking material used in Southwestern and Native American jewelry. Formed over millions of years as ancient palm trees fossilized, this stone features beautiful natural patterns of dark speckling or streaks against cream, tan, or deep brown backgrounds. These organic markings are the remnants of the tree’s vascular structure, giving Palmwood its signature dotted or grainy appearance.

Highly polished for use in earrings, pendants, and rings, Palmwood offers a warm, earthy feel and pairs beautifully with sterling silver. Sourced primarily from the southern United States, it is valued for its natural beauty, durability, and connection to the prehistoric landscape.
