Handcrafted Designer Jewelry
'Now It Gets Personal'

Handcrafted designer jewelry is experiencing a resurgence in interest. The focus of jewelry lovers is shifting from 'fine', 'pretty', 'expensive looking' to 'personal', 'my style', 'expression'.

Is this a temporary trend? A fad? We see it as jewelry coming full circle to where it was and should be...

 

Handcrafted Designer Jewelry Come Full Circle

We have developed the custom to adorn ourselves with jewelry made with hands since the beginning of civilization.

Industrialization introduced machines and mass production.

Manufacturers mass produce jewelry with machines to generate cloned designs cheaply compared to traditional handcrafting. Like most things, jewelry is now mainly machine made.

In recent years, a renaissance is taking place and interest in handcrafted jewelry escalated. Unique jewelry designs made by hand through simple tools are highly valued again.

This emerging demand of designer handcrafted jewelry is in tandem with the ever increasing hunger for self expression and personalization.

 

Hands Replacing Machines?

An odd tendency is emerging with the rising status of handcrafted designer jewelry - more and more mass-produced jewelry sold today is handmade. Artisans and craftsmen take their place where machines used to occupy in factories.

It seems to be an unavoidable development as businesses ride on the popularity of handcrafted designer jewelry to duplicate its values. Once again doing so as cheaply as possible.

Is this new phenomenon a boon or bane to jewelry lovers?

It is always good to pay less for something but it is not good to pay less for something else!

As with massed produced items, the objectives are always 'fast' and 'cheap'.

In the case of handcrafted jewelry, there are compromises, huge losses in material quality, skill, workmanship and intangible values of uniqueness, scarcity, creativity and originality.

Massed produced jewelry, even handcrafted ones simply has 'less life' and 'less soul' in them. They offer less compliment to their wearer, lending the appearance of mass-produced to the wearer.

 

Values in Designer Handcrafted Jewelry

Designer handcrafted jewelry methods demand dedication, creativity, talent, workmanship and concentration.

Uniqueness and quality are prominent, allowing designer jewellery to be conspicuous among mass-manufactured, identical jewellery.

Selecting designer handmade jewelry to reflect your style and interest will add that personal touch and express your individuality.

Wearing designer jewelry that an artist has lovingly created by hand is blissful.

 

Increase Rarity in Handmade Designer Jewelry Exponentially

Designer jewelry is by nature, rare. Only a pair of hands is involved with little intention to race against machines in output.

This is one of the qualities of handcrafted designer jewelry that is highly coveted. Wearing something this rare simply makes you feel special, one of a kind.

Designers are helping us express what we feel and know, "we are special and unique", by limiting the quantity of each design.
