Why choose a handmade piece of jewelry?

Accessories are always what give the final touch to our look. All jewelry highlights our features, adds to our image, and helps us showcase the beautiful side of ourselves on every occasion. However, handmade jewelry is more than just simple jewelry. Behind every design lie many hours of inspiration, crafting, dedication, and most importantly, the love of the creator. But why are they an ideal choice as a gift for a friend or for yourself? In this blog, we gather all the reasons that make buying a handmade piece of jewelry special!

Handmade jewelry can even be considered a hallmark of your personality!

Each handmade piece of jewelry has its own story

By choosing a handmade piece, you become part of the creator’s story. And what do we mean by that? Usually, each piece of jewelry is an inspiration that tries to send us a message (e.g., good luck, strength, freedom, self-confidence, modesty, love for music, etc.). Often, lovers of handmade jewelry form a special bond with the pieces they wear, taking into account the original thought of the artist who designed it. Surely you have met someone who told you “I wear it because it brings me good luck,” and maybe it’s not so random after all!

Mass-produced jewelry; What is it?

It is important to know that handmade jewelry is exactly what the components of the word define – made by hand. But what does this mean in practice? It means that their production is extremely limited compared to mass-produced jewelry because each piece requires more time and attention.

That is; attention to detail! This is also why handmade rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces rarely have flaws or defects.

The importance of materials

In mass-production jewelry factories, it is certainly difficult to constantly monitor the quality of all raw materials used in each piece. This sometimes results in unwanted side effects due to possible mixing with another metal (e.g., rust). The materials used in the making of handmade jewelry are chosen very carefully to meet quality production standards.

Quality that stands out

Small-scale production allows artisans to follow and check the jewelry throughout its creation. Both the designer and the makers love each piece very much, are proud of it, and primarily want the result to satisfy themselves. This is why they never allow a piece of inferior quality to be sold bearing their name.

One of a Kind

If you love to always stand out with your choices wherever you are, then you definitely should keep adding handmade jewelry to your collection! Think simply: a machine “cuts and sews” always in the same way. On the other hand, if you choose a handmade piece, even if it is part of a series or edition, it can never be 100% identical to another, precisely because it is made by hand. This way, you ensure that you will always stand out in your own unique way.

Your money is never wasted

When you choose jewelry from a large company, it is hard to know exactly where your money goes and whom you help with your purchase as a consumer. On the other hand, buying a handmade piece of jewelry is an investment closely connected to the life of an artist and their collaborators.

Both the creator of the design and the artisans needed to realize each piece dedicate themselves to it with great passion, aiming for a quality result, and they make their living from the money they receive from each purchase. So, by buying a handmade piece of jewelry, we could say that in a way we do the good deed of the day, since with our money we secure the quality of life of other people...

Now that you know the reasons that make a handmade piece of jewelry stand out, do not hesitate for your next purchase to be one of these! Remember that although the piece you choose may be a little more expensive than a mass-produced design, with your purchase you will definitely enjoy high quality while also helping an artist’s team continue to add unique designs to their collection.
