Inspired by Nature
Cool Coconut is an Australian label designing natural wooden jewellery from Mullumbimby, in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Every piece is handmade in the Philippines, in the same family workshop we’ve worked with since 1999, from Pangantuon — also known as whitewood — coconut palm wood and coconut shell.
Types of Wooden Necklace Options
We design complete sets consisting of bracelets, necklaces and earrings in a selection of colours and styles so you can choose a set for every outfit or colour in your wardrobe. These are just a few of the different wooden necklace styles that we have for you:
- Lucy. Flat, pebble-like shapes knotted together on a waxed cotton cord, finished with a clasp and chain of nickel-free surgical steel. Every Lucy has been made by hand in the same family workshop in the Philippines that we have worked with since 1999.
- Ophelia. The smooth oval shape of the Ophelia necklaces is threaded onto a long, waxed cotton cord for an organic look and feel. The wood is dyed in turquoise, green and pink, among others, or the more natural dark coconut palm wood.
- Xena. Our Xena and Babylon necklaces are fit for a warrior princess and will make a statement and demand attention with every outfit you wear. Xena consists of five pebble-like wooden discs on a cotton thread, for a natural look and feel.
- Lola. Take a trip back to the 70s with the chunky wooden necklace of the Lola range from Cool Coconut. Also available in a selection of colours, it will brighten up a dull day like sunshine on the beach.
- Stephanie. The classic style of the Stephanie range is a necklace with wooden teardrop-shaped pieces on a cord of waxed cotton of about 110cm in length.
Complete Your Set With Other Wooden Jewellery in Australia
We have bracelets and earrings in colours matching the Cool Coconut wooden necklace, so you can complete the look from top to toe. Discover what else we stock:
- Sets. You can choose a necklace, bracelet, studs or earrings all in the same style and colour and mix and match them as your mood dictates on the day.
- Bracelets. Bella and Lolita are the stackable cluster styles; Kirra and Viva are cleaner and more classic; and the Ovalitos bracelet is there when you want something different.
- Earrings. Our teardrops go perfectly with the Stephanie necklace, while the disc or cut-outs will pair nicely with Lucy or Lola.
- Colourways. More than fifty across the range, with the deepest styles running to eighteen colours. The idea is simple: one design, in the colour you actually want.
- Materials. Pangantuon, coconut palm wood and coconut shell, with nickel-free surgical steel findings where a clasp is needed. Nothing else goes into the range.
Why Support Cool Coconut
Pangantuon is soft and fast-growing, and we’ve funded a planting of it to put back what we take. Coconut palm is endemic to the Philippines — abundant, and replaced far more quickly than we use it. Coconut shell is what’s left once the coconut has been harvested for food.
We have never held a certification for any of this, and we don’t claim one. What we do have is twenty-five years working with the same family workshop, which we think is its own evidence.
We love that Cool Coconut can take you back to the 60s, 70s or 80s in a single piece, and we would love it even more if you wanted to stock our wooden jewellery wholesale and spread that around your own neighbourhood. Contact us if you want to know more about our jewellery.
