Materials and workmanship of Solaria jewelry

Every Solaria piece of jewelry is born from the meeting between natural material, technique, and artisanal craftsmanship.
Wood and resin are stabilized, worked, and finished through a precise process designed to ensure strength, durability, and aesthetic uniqueness.

A balance between technology and human hands, where every step is designed to transform the material into a wearable object made to last.

🪵 Raw material: selected woods from around the world

We use natural woods carefully selected for their beauty, history, and strength.
They are chosen exotic woods from sustainable forests in South America, Asia, and, centennial Italian olive tree rich in unique veins and a symbol of our tradition.

Before the final processing, the wood is stabilized:
a process that allows the resin to penetrate the pores, making the material more compact, moisture-resistant, and stable over time.

Woods that tell a journey. And that live a second life, transformed into wearable art.

💎 Epoxy resin: light, transparency, and protection

The resin used is not just for aesthetics.
It is used in multiple stages to bond the wood, reinforce its internal structure, and protect it from water, salt, and wear.

The process takes place via controlled pressure, allowing the resin to bond with the wood at a deep level, not just superficially.

The result is a hybrid material, natural and technical at the same time.

Each pendant is different from the next: the resin highlights veins, contrasts, and shades, making every piece unique and natural.

⚙️ Processing: between CNC and hand finishing

After stabilization, the boards are processed using high-precision CNC, which defines the form and structure of the jewelry.

Next:

  • roughing and initial polishing using buffing wheels
  • hand finishing to achieve the crystal effect and final control of the piece

Every necklace is inspected, finished, and completed by hand.

✋ Finishing and final protection

The surfaces are treated with museum-quality protective products, designed to:

  • protect the wood
  • maintain the shine
  • ensure long-lasting resistance even in harsh environments (water, soaps, and saltwater)

A technical choice, not a decorative one.

🌍 Values: ethics, quality, connection

We believe in craftsmanship that respects nature and enhances the material.
Solaria was not created to produce disposable items.
Every piece of jewelry is designed to accompany you over time, withstand use, and tell a story of material, technique, and experimentation.

Wearing Solaria means carrying with it a story, an energy, a message:
authentic beauty comes from the quality of the material and craftsmanship.
