Make an Individualistic Fashion Statement with Handcrafted Jewelry
The unique and personalized touch is the essence of hand crafted jewellery. Replete with individuality, each piece reflects its own characteristic features and beauty. They are meant to satisfy one’s aspiration to look unparallel in a unique piece that is made to order to suit her style, personality and silhouette.
Features:
-
Handcrafted jewellery is bestowed with certain qualities that distinguish them from ordinary pieces.
- The untrained eyes fail to differentiate between an original and duplicate hand crafted piece. But the designers at the time of their creation resort to plenty of options and that make each piece dissimilar in some of the aspects. This difference is the guarantee of the fact that the piece is really hand crafted. And this uniqueness is counted most at the time of determining the value of the piece.
- The handcrafted jewellery pieces are usually made with premium quality metals and best quality gemstones upon the order of the customers.
- The usual time to finish handmade jewellery is generally one week. The pieces with extremely intricate works as knots or filigree or engraving stones require longer time. The time may also vary according to the availability of the raw material.
Precautions:
At the time of buying hand crafted jewellery pieces you have to take the following points in consideration.
Check if the karat mark or "k" and also the manufacturer's trademark are engraved on the back of the piece. It will assure you of the quality of the gold.
Never buy a piece without a stamp of hallmark and in some cases its country of origin.
It is not easy for an amateur to properly judge gemstone quality, generally the dyed or color enhanced stones are less costly. Beware of the synthetic gemstones. Commonly, turquoise, jade, coral, tanzanite and amethyst quartz have very convincing imitations.
Rolled gold and gold plated materials have emerged as very affordable options for customized jewellery making. Always make sure that plating or gold fill is done with good quality gold. Otherwise, the brightness of the gold will weather away with time.
Never shy away from making queries directly with the designer about the materials and authenticity of the piece.
