About Our Process
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.

A Memorial to Last a Lifetime
Cremation jewelry offers a heartfelt way to keep the memory of a loved
one or a cherished pet close to you. These unique pieces incorporate a
small portion of ashes into beautiful, wearable art. They serve as a
tangible connection to those who have passed.
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.

The Most Difficult Woods That I Work With
There's a common assumption that harder wood is harder to work with. That's sometimes true, but hardness is only one piece of the puzzle. Some of the most challenging woods in my shop are actually quite soft. Others are dense enough to overheat my tools in seconds. Some have grain that changes direction so many times within a single piece that there's no safe angle to approach from.
What Oil Should You Use to Condition Wooden Jewelry?
Every piece of wooden jewelry I make leaves the studio with a protective finish already applied. That means maintenance on your end is about as simple as it gets. In fact, most of the time you don't need to do anything at all. That said, there are moments when a piece could use a little refresh. When that happens, the right oil makes all the difference. And just as importantly, the wrong oil can cause problems.
How to Store Your Wooden Jewelry to Last a Lifetime
I've always believed in creating pieces that aren't just beautiful but are also enduring symbols of nature's timeless elegance. Today, I want to share with you some insights into preserving your cherished wooden jewelry, ensuring it lasts a lifetime and beyond.
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.
