HANDMADE JEWELRY
WHAT REALLY IS HANDMADE JEWELRY?
We all have heard a lot of buzz about ‘handmade jewelry’ but are not very much aware of many things about it. Firstly, handmade jewelry means literally as it’s name suggests. It is the jewelry ornaments which are assembled together my artisans and not automatic machines. Handmade jewelry has always been very famous because of the hard work and efforts that the artisans put in to make such stunning pieces. The pieces are not just assembled manually, but are also designed ad carved by the artisans themselves.

The way in which handmade jewelry is different from the other machinery made jewelry is that a machine can make hundreds of pieces in an hour but a single artisan might take more than a day to make just one piece. The absence of machinery makes handmade jewelry more time taking. The fact that a person invests such amount of time to a single piece of jewelry means that s(he) develops an intimate relationship with that jewelry piece. They know why the jewelry holds that particular design and are aware of each and every line or curve given by them.
At a place where jewelry pieces are created with the help of machines, one can never be sure about the materials that are being used. Some old materials might be blended with the new ones and the quality can easily be compromised on. However, in case of handmade jewelry, the quality is never compromised upon. The material that is used is of best quality and there is no negligence. The fact that the material is of best quality, it is quite reasonable that the jewelry is more expensive than the ones made with machines.

The ones living in the big cities might be less exposed to the handmade jewelry pieces, because the artisans mostly live in the smaller ares of the world. This really has a lot of benefits on the jewelry that they produce because they are completely connected to their culture which is clearly seen in the pieces that they produce. The fact that these pieces are personally produced by artists also means that no two pieces can be exactly same, and hence we can always have our pieces unique from others. Besides, investing more in handmade jewelry than in machinery made ones really encourages these artists and also help in growing their business.
