HOT ! Maple

Some connections are rooted in similar passions—this necklace is the result of one such con nection. At a local craft fair, Found & Found’s booth was approached by Martijn, a tall, friendly man who immediately recognized the depth of craftsmanship in the reclaimed wooden jewelry. Martijn is the founder and designer of Ventana Surfboards, a master artisan known for crafting exquisite wooden surfboards from rare and reclaimed materials. A shared passion for ethical artistry and sustainability led to an exciting collaboration, inspiring the creation of several pieces, including this Maple necklace.

Maple is revered for its light golden hue and fine, uniform grain, making it a symbol of resilience and refinement. Prized for centuries in furniture-making, instrument crafting, and even historic shipbuilding, maple has long been associated with durability and versatility. The wood’s natural luster deepens over time, developing a warm patina that enhances its beauty with every wear. No new trees were cut to create this necklace—it is made entirely from reclaimed wood, ensuring that each piece tells a story of renewal and sustainability.

The adjustable leather cord provides easy customization, allowing you to wear the necklace at varying lengths to complement your style and occasion. Whether worn high as a statement piece or low for a subtle, earthy accent, this necklace is a tribute to mindful craftsmanship and creative collaboration. Its soft, warm tones pair effortlessly with both casual and formal attire, complementing those who appreciate nature’s finest elements.

Every aspect of this necklace is intentionally designed to reflect the values of ethical artistry. Wearing it connects you to a lineage of artisans who cherish sustainability, renewal, and the inherent beauty of natural materials.
