Unique Watches for Spring

by

Ah, spring! I always look forward to spring. I love the spring colors and enjoying time outdoors. With beautiful weather and spring colors it’s also time to update my fashion for spring. I love unique watches that pull together a fashionable style. With an eco-friendly watch with a gorgeous color I knew I was ready for spring!

JORD offers a variety of great Wood Watches that are made from a variety of diverse woods from around the world. Their unique watches are eco-friendly and stylish as well! I have had the opportunity to review various unique watches from JORD and really enjoy them.
For my review, I received a Cora Maple and Lavender watch from the JORD Ladies Cora Series. It truly is perfect for spring with the beautiful lavender color and fresh Maple band. Plus, it’s automatic. This is one of the features that was so impressive to me. There are no concerns about batteries that need to be changed or disposed of. I simply wind it up, and it’s ready to go! It also winds itself with motion/wear!
Unique Watches from JORD
As always, my new wood watch arrived in a nice wooden box with a pillow to hold its shape and protect it, a cleaning cloth, and an extra link in case it was needed. I got it sized in advance, which was really nice! A card with instructions on how to wind it and set the time was included as well. I have to admit, it would have taken me a while to figure it out on my own, so that was definitely appreciated!
Once again, I was impressed with the quality and how beautiful it is in person. I not only enjoy the fact that it’s automatic, but I love that there is a small clear circle on the face where the gears are visible. Plus, the entire back is clear as well. I’m a person that loves to know and see how things work, so I have been loving this feature!

The Cora watch has a beautiful, feminine look with an average size watch face with swarovski crystal markers and the deployment buckle with push button, which makes it easy to put on and take off without needing any assistance. It is fairly light and feels comfortable on my wrist. Did I mention how beautiful it is? I am loving both the look and feel of the Cora watch and think it is the perfect watch for spring fashion.

Green Gift Idea {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

by

So you have friends or family members that embrace the eco-friendly lifestyle. Maybe you embrace the eco-friendly lifestyle as well, but gifting to eco-conscious friends and family members can be challenging. As an eco-friendly family, we often receive the same type of gifts. Although nice (and definitely appreciated) I’m here to tell you there is more out there than eco-friendly bath and beauty products and reusable kitchen items! Take the beautiful wood watches from JORD for example – a great green gift idea!

JORD offers a variety of stylish wood watches that are the perfect green gift. They not only look great, but they are made with wood that is either sustainably forested or they use remnant wood pieces from furniture manufacturers. Plus they don’t paint or stain the wood. Instead they use natural Tung oil to condition it after sanding.
JORD Wood Watches Green Gift idea
JORD wood watches are available in many different styles, types of wood, colors and grains so there is something anybody would love! My husband and I love our JORD watches. We love the look and style and, of course, we love that they are made of not only wood but wood that is sustainably forested or the remnant wood pieces. Plus, because they are all made from natural wood they all look a little different. Eco-friendly and unique? Fantastic!
I am really loving my watch from the ELY series because it is so petite, which I think looks great on my small wrist. Of course I chose the Red Sandalwood because I LOVE red!

The perfect green gift

Shopping for the perfect green gift doesn’t have to be challenging. JORD offers gorgeous watches that are comfortable to wear, unique, eco-friendly and something they will love to wear! There is rarely a time we go out wearing our JORD wood watches that we don’t get comments and/or questions! They’re a great conversation starter and yet another opportunity to share our love for eco-friendly products!

Updating my Summer Fashion with a JORD Wood Watch

by

Last year I had a chance to review an awesome JORD Wood Watch. Well, I should say my husband did. He loved his watch so much that when the opportunity came up for me to review one as well, I was definitely excited!
Watches Made From Wood

JORD Wood Watches are unique, gorgeous watches that are made from a variety of diverse woods from around the world. As an eco-friendly consumer, I absolutely love the concept behind JORD watches, and I love how unique they look! They are a conversation starter for sure! In fact, I knew it would be a fantastic way to update my summer fashion!
For my review, I received the JORD Sidney – Cherry & Mother Pearl Watch. It is a larger watch from their selection of Women’s Watches, and has a beautifully unique, Sapphire Crystal face. The edges are adorned with Swarovski Crystals, which really make this watch shine! Being an introvert, I need conversation starters, and this watch is it!
My new wood watch arrived in a beautiful wooden box with a pillow to hold its shape and protect it, a cleaning cloth, and an extra link in case it was needed. I was able to get it sized beforehand, which was an extra great feature!
JORD Wood Watch Sidney
When I looked at the watch, it was really more beautiful than I imagined. Up close the pearl background has a very unique look that I’m not sure can be justified in a picture. Just like the wood of each watch varies based on the various grain patterns, I imagine the look of the background varies slightly as well. It’s beautiful! The dark cherry color of the wood really makes the watch face pop!
Beautiful Wood Watch from JORD
One of my concerns is that it might look a little big on my small wrist, but I think it looks great! What I love most about the Sidney watch is that it is elegant enough to wear with dress clothes but also casual enough to wear with casual clothes as well. It really goes well with a variety of fashion! I was particularly excited to discover how well it goes with one of my favorite sleeveless shirts!
Updating Summer Fashion with JORD Wood Watch
Although the watch face is slightly (understandably) heavy, the wood makes the rest of the watch very light, which is really nice. The clasp is described as a Deployment Buckle with Push Button, and although the function is similar to my husband’s Fieldcrest Watch I love that the band looks like it is all wood. The metal is only on the underside of the closure, which I think just really makes this watch band look amazing!
Overall, I am thrilled with my Sidney watch! It is absolutely beautiful and matches just about anything! It is definitely the perfect accessory for updating my summer fashion!

JORD Wood Watch Review

by

Disclosure: I received a JORD Fieldcrest watch to facilitate my wood watch review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family.

I love finding something unique. I love it even more when it is eco-friendly! JORD wood watches are definitely both. JORD offers a variety of unique watches that are made from diverse woods from all over the world. They combine various grains and natural colors, and each watch is truly one of a kind. Plus they are handcrafted with sustainable materials. Fantastic, right?
For my review I received a Fieldcrest Natural Green Wood Watch.
JORD wood watch Review
I like that the Fieldcrest series could be worn by either men or women, but for our review, my husband received the Fieldcrest watch. He could hardly wait to get it out of the box! The box was pretty impressive itself! Since he has gotten it, he has shown it off to just about everybody. Besides the fact that it truly is unique he has also noted that he loves how light it is. He has chemotherapy induced neuropathy, so his hands are often in pain. Wearing a heavy watch is just extra pressure on his wrists and moves up and down more frequently with arm movements because of the weight. He has been so happy with the JORD Fieldcrest watch. He barely notices the feel of it on his wrist.
The clasp is easy to use, and the design is sleek. It’s definitely a watch he can (and does) wear everyday.
JORD wood watch review
Something I really love about it is that it’s a conversation piece. Nobody can look at his watch without asking about it. Not only do we get to tell them about JORD and their unique watches, but we can also share why we love it so much including talking about how it’s made of sustainable materials and why that’s a big deal. Plus, because it’s natural wood, each watch will have variations, which I think is great because I’m a big fan of all things unique.
I’m really impressed with the JORD Fieldcrest Natural Green watch. In fact, I would say it exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a unique watch for yourself or for a gift, I would definitely recommend checking them out.
