About Our Process

Benjamin Posin, founder of Sticks & Stones Jewelry, in his workshop

Hi, my name's Benjamin Posin and I'm the founder and jeweler at Sticks & Stones Jewelry.

I start by sourcing the perfect wood for the base of the jewelry, selected for both its beauty and durability. The wood is then shaped for proper size and style, and the top & side materials are added along with the hand pierced metals. With attention to every detail, and to ensure fit and comfort - the wood is sanded, soaked, and cured to then be thoroughly inspected, polished to perfection, and ready to wear. Materials may be custom curated or designed in house. My process welcomes and invites your vision for limitless possibilities. There is no end to the variety of styles that can be imagined and created.

Each creation is brought to life by hand using old world techniques and unique materials. Check out the video below to learn more.

Committed to Sustainability

Here at Sticks & Stones we're committed to sustainability. Not only with our material selection, but with our process. We utilize wood scraps that would normally be thrown away. We reuse anything we can from gloves to stirrers to containers and everything in between. We strive to generate as little waste as possible.

February's Birthstone: Amethyst

February’s birthstone is the amazing amethyst. Amethyst is a member of the quartz family known for its beautiful purple coloring. Ancient Greeks used to carry pieces of amethyst in their pocket to ward against drunkenness. Some believe that amethyst can promote clear thought and healing.

Sapphire: From Earth to Art

As I sit in my workshop in Portland, surrounded by the tools of my trade and the gentle Pacific Northwest rain tapping against the windows, I find myself reflecting on one of the most revered gemstones in my craft – the sapphire. Perhaps it’s their deep, enigmatic blue or their story that spans across cultures and centuries. In this post, I want to share with you the allure of sapphires, a stone that continues to captivate and inspire.

Is Wooden Jewelry Good for Sensitive Skin?

As someone who's dedicated over a decade to handcrafting wooden jewelry, I often get asked whether wooden jewelry is a good fit for sensitive skin. Today, I'd like to delve into this topic and share my insights
from years of experience.

How to Check Your Ring Size at Home

People often ask me, “Benjamin, how do I figure out what my ring size is? I’d love to order one of your amazing, sustainable rings, but I’m afraid it might be the wrong size when it arrives.” And I completely understand the feeling. After all, there’s nothing worse than buying a ring for yourself (or your loved one) only for it to barely fit or slide right off.
