The palette is the same because dusk and dawn are the same colours in a different order: Padauk's deep red against the pale gold of Boxwood, arriving rather than leaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither colour is dyed. Padauk is that red on its own and Boxwood that gold; every band is simply the two woods meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne block, cut two ways\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the thing worth looking at closely, and it is easiest to see on this set because both cuts are sitting next to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uprights at the shoulders and the half-rounds below them come from the same joined block — the same strips of Padauk and Boxwood, bonded edge to edge in the same order. But a rectangle cut from that block shows the bands as parallel stripes of even width all the way down. A half-round cut from it shows something else entirely: the curve crosses each band at a different angle, so the same bands taper, widen and run out at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame wood, same joins, same order. Two completely different readings, decided purely by where the blade goes. On this necklace they are three inches apart so you can see it happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJoined, not printed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bands are not a pattern applied to a surface. Separate strips of Padauk and Boxwood are bonded edge to edge, and each piece is shaped from the block afterwards — so the colour runs all the way through the wood rather than sitting on it. Cut one in half and the bands would still be there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mating face has to be worked dead flat and dead square before bonding, because a joint is only as invisible as the surfaces going into it. Any gap and a hairline seam appears alongside the red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the necklace is built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive pieces in all, linked with metal rings. A banded upright sits at each shoulder where the cord meets the wood, holding the line of the necklace steady. A half-round falls from each of them, angled inward. A fifth half-round sits at the centre front, broader than the two beside it, where the two sides meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an arrangement rather than a chain. Nothing repeats more than twice, so the eye reads a composition — two uprights, two falling, one resting — instead of a rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cord is cotton thread, not leather, and it adjusts: a cotton bead slides along the thread passing through it, so you set the length yourself and it stays where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe earrings fasten with a push back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese do not hang from a hook. A banded square sits flat against the lobe on a post, secured with a push back, and a banded half-round hangs from it — the same two cuts as the necklace, in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA post holds the top element steady at the lobe and keeps the drop closer to the face than a hook would. It is also the more secure of the two fittings, which matters on a long evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e3ddd3; margin: 26px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e3ddd3;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"display: flex; gap: 10px; align-items: flex-start; cursor: pointer; padding: 11px 4px; font-weight: 600; list-style: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"flex: none;\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 4px 16px 26px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of earrings and one necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Padauk and Boxwood, both responsibly repurposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e strips of Padauk and Boxwood joined edge to edge, then shaped — the bands run right through the wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace:\u003c\/strong\u003e five pieces — a banded upright at each shoulder, a half-round falling from each, and a broader half-round at the centre, linked with metal rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e a banded square on a post with a push back, carrying a banded half-round below it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e cotton thread, adjustable — a sliding cotton bead sets the length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural wood colour, undyed and unpainted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFindings:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal alloy posts, push backs and rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarrings weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 g the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e India, from responsibly repurposed exotic hardwoods, handcrafted by skilled artisans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy these two woods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePadauk — African Coral Wood — comes out of the log a deep orange-red, streaked with finer darker lines that no two pieces share.
