Why choose a handmade piece of jewelry?

Accessories are what always give the final touch to our look. All jewelry accentuates our features, adds to our image and helps us bring out the beautiful side of ourselves in every situation. However, handmade jewelry is more than just jewelry. Behind every design hides many hours of inspiration, processing, dedication and most important of all, the love of the creator. But why are they an ideal choice for a gift for a friend or for yourself? In this blog we gather all the reasons that make buying a handmade jewelry special!

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

Every single one handmade jewelry has its own story

Choosing a handmade piece you become part of the history of the creator. And what do we mean by that? Usually each piece of jewelry is an inspiration that tries to send us a message (eg good luck, dynamism, freedom, self-confidence, modesty, love of music, etc.). Many times lovers of handmade jewelry have a special connection with the jewelry they wear, taking into account the original thought of the artist who designed it. Surely you've met someone who told you "I wear it because it brings me good luck", 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 synthetics 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 of them requires more time and attention.

I mean? Attention to detail! This is also the reason why handmade rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces rarely have imperfections or defects.

The importance of materials

In mass production jewelry factories it is certainly difficult to constantly check the quality of all the raw materials used in each piece of jewelry. This results in sometimes unwanted side effects due to the possible mixing of some other metal (eg rust). The materials used in the manufacture of handmade jewelry are selected very carefully, in order to meet the quality criteria of production.

Quality that stands out

The production on a smaller scale enables the artisans to monitor and control the jewelry ca’throughout its creation. Both the designer and the builders love each piece very much, they are proud of it and above all they want the result to satisfy them. This is also the reason why they never allow any inferior jewelry to be sold under their own brand name.

One of Kind

If you love to always stand out with your choices wherever you are, then you definitely need to keep adding handmade jewelry to your collection! Think about it simply: a machine «cuts and sews» always the same way. Conversely, if you choose a handmade piece of jewelry, even if it is part of an edition - series of jewelry, it can never be 100% the same as another, precisely because it is made by hand. Thus, you ensure that you will always stand out in your own unique way. 

Your money never goes to waste

When you choose jewelry from a large company it is difficult to know exactly where your money is going and who you are helping with your purchase as a consumer. On the other hand, buying a piece of handmade jewelry is an investment that is inextricably linked to the life of an artist and his collaborators.

Both the creator of the design and the artisans needed to realize each piece of jewelry dedicate themselves to it with great passion, aiming for a quality result and with the money they receive from each purchase they make a living. By buying a piece of handmade jewelry, we can say that in a sense we are doing the good deed of the day, since with our money we ensure the quality of life of some other people...

Now that you know the reasons that make a handmade piece of jewelry stand out, don't hesitate to make your next purchase one of them! Remember that even though the piece you choose may be a bit more expensive than a mass-produced design, with your purchase you will certainly enjoy high quality while helping an artist's team continue to add unique designs to their collection.
