Founded by sisters Shawn Hecox and Samantha Hitchcock, and based out of Denver and Aspen (respectively), The Woods was born out of a love for contrasts—modern and vintage, shiny and matte, edgy and girly, sophisticated and innocent. Originally, however, it was the sisters’ obsession with rose cut diamonds that drove them to create the line. “We love seeing diamonds, the epitome of luxury, in an organic, unfussy setting,” says Hecox. Much of the line, for instance, features tea-dyed bone, fossilized ivory (don’t fret—it’s the ethically raised kind), or ebony wood beads with rose cut diamond charms and pendants such as birds, stars, crescents, and circles, as well as 14-karat gold beads. The Woods also includes many one-of-a-kind, vintage-inspired pieces such as diamond hoops, drops and studs. While the sisters will continue to work with fossilized ivory, ebony wood, and tea-dyed bone, the two plan to also add leather and gold chain into the mix. As if that weren’t enough, Hecox and Hitchcock even offer custom designs made to your specifications. “We love the idea of elevating the look of one’s favorite flea market bakelite find, or adding a new dimension to a 5-karat diamond ring.” Call 1-888.6GOLDYN to find out more about custom orders from this gorgeous label.
