Wood may not be the first material that leaps to mind when you are thinking of fine jewelry, but designers have been using it for decades in special gold and gemmy pieces. This necklace is a true treasure of timber. Visionary designer Kara Ross had the wood cut by a master craftsman into a beautiful bib then sprinkled it with diamonds. The piece would fit perfectly into the décolletage of a glorious evening gown. The taupe tones of the maple also mean you could wear it with any brilliant beige ensemble as a symbol of good luck. Just knock it on.
