Why You Should Be Buying Handmade Jewelry

When you plan to spend money on jewelry, what are you looking for

? Do you make a selection based on the amount you'll have to spend? Do you pick it based on the color? Do you pick out jewelry based on its traits? Are you concerned with uniqueness? Is it necessary to have an uncommon piece? If being one of a kind is worthwhile, you could save some time by exclusively shopping for handcrafted jewelry. Jewelry that is mass produced for department stores is all fine and good but if you want a piece that is one of a kind, jewelry that is handmade is the way to go.

The best way to get hand made jewelry of your own is to make it yourself. Finding someone to teach you is a great way to do this. Your community center or a few of the jewelry shops in your area might offer classes in making jewelry; think about taking one of them! You might even be able to set up one-on-one lessons with a local jewelry artist if you can find one. It's easier to learn how to make your own jewelry when you have your teacher's undivided attention. Selling your work through auction websites or through Etsy is another great way to get handmade jewelry without spending any money. Ebay and Etsy are two very good websites to use to sell your handmade jewelry. Everybody knows what Ebay is. While EBay can help you get money that you can use to buy new pieces from other designers, Etsy is a great site to use for trading pieces. The majority of those who sell through Etsy do so to earn money but some also enjoy trading with other designers. If you see a piece you like but do not have the money to spend on it, consider offing some of your own pieces to the seller of the accessory you have your eye on. With this method, the only money you spend will be on the postage to mail your own pieces out.

Offer up your time as a trade for the pieces you love--this is the best way to get handmade jewelry without spending a cent. Offer to help the designer build a website for her work. You might even sell their pieces through a store of your own as an exchange for them making you a piece or two. This can be dicey so make sure that you explain your intention up front if you are trying to buy a piece from an artist directly (when you do not have the money to do so). If the artist does not need your services, she may allow you to make payments instead. Some artists are very nice and will just give you the piece! Handmade jewelry is a great addition to any wardrobe. It is easy to make your own handmade jewelry if you want to save money and easier to find it if you don't have time for doing it yourself. Every outfit is made better with handmade jewerly but mass produced department store jewelry can only do a little bit.
