Our Story | The Dappled Wood - Botanical Jewelry in Baltimore

Welcome to The Dappled Wood, where the beauty of nature meets the strength of heritage in every handcrafted piece. Our journey began outside of Baltimore, a city rich in culture and creative energy, and it’s here that our inspiration flourishes—from the natural elements around us to the vibrant community we proudly serve.

Nature as Our Muse

At The Dappled Wood, nature is more than just a backdrop—it’s our muse. The organic shapes, colors, and textures of the world around us inspire the unique designs of our faux stone jewelry and floral polymer clay earrings. Each piece reflects the delicate balance of nature’s beauty and the bold statements we love to create.

A Heritage of Craftsmanship & Culture

Founded by a proud Black entrepreneur, our business is deeply rooted in Baltimore’s rich artistic heritage. As a Black-owned and BIPOC-led business made in Maryland, we honor our community and its history through our work. Every creation is a celebration of local talent, a blend of traditional techniques and modern innovation that defines our signature style.

Mindful Craftsmanship & Responsible Design

Our commitment to quality is evident in every step of our process. We focus on mindful craftsmanship and responsible design—optimizing our production methods to reduce waste and ensure each material is used efficiently. Using premium hypoallergenic metals, our handmade jewelry is designed to be as comfortable as it is eye-catching, perfect for those who appreciate art with care.

Butterfly Wings!

I love them so much! The handpainted detail is simply beautiful! Every piece I own from you is amazing and I especially love they don't irritate my ears.
Keep up your amazing work!

HAPPY TO SUPPORT!!

I met The Dappled Wood at a wedding expo. Funny thing, I actually got kicked out because they didn't believe I was getting married. This company (besides the entertainment company I already had booked and seen numerous times) was the ONLY company in the building that was inviting. The fact that they had something for the groom was an automatic plus. After connecting, they were able to design a custom pin for my jacket. I will most definitely find another reason to purchase from them again. Beautiful work with amazing service is "all I need to get by" (words from the song to my first dance with my WIFE!

Idk how else to say thank you. You're amazing, and keep doing what you're doing.

Best Earrings Ever!!

These earrings are stunning and incredibly lightweight while being so stylish and trendy. The fact that they are locally made by a small business is just the cherry on top. I bought these as a gift for a friend and it was a hard decision not to keep them for myself because of how much I love them!

Oval Earrings

Love these earrings! The colors are so pretty and they are perfect!

Beautiful color and shape

Bought blue dangling earrings to give to a friend who has shoulder length auburn hair. Dangling earrings will be flattering to her hair color and hair length.

Diamond emerald earrings

Loved them. They are soooo cute!

Love the blue marble dangle earrings

Love the blue marble. I’m giving these as a Christmas gift. I like the small size and multiple dangles that go nice with various colors and sit nicely on the ears.
