Why Should You Buy Handmade Jewellery?
A new trend has hit the UK; handmade jewellery has been around for thousands of years in the UK. Due to the invention of mass production the numbers of handmade jewellery drastically dropped throughout the 70's 80's and 90's. Recently there has been a surge of new and upcoming designers and handmade jewellery has become the new fad, replacing cheap and mass produce jewellery with unique contemporary pieces.
The newer unique designs are truly works of art as well as fashionable jewellery, missing older styles and adding a modern twist to the previous work of high end jewellers. Another benefit of been handmade is the jewellery is designed and made locally by homemade creative art designers. Unlike mass produced good, a person has taken care and attention working on that piece to achieve a perfect finish. The uniqueness of the items gives it an extra charm giving you an exclusive feel but not breaking the bank at the same time. Most handmade jewellery will be one-off or limited editions, some designer even can make one-off pieces for a customer to go with a wedding dress or that prom outfit.
Handmade jewellery from the UK is always made with Sterling Silver and should be hallmarked to assure quality of both the design and the materials of the piece. Most companies should offer a wide range of silver designs from necklaces to rings. Commonly to reduce cost and add a colourful range to the pieces Gemstones are used. These gemstones have need under rated in the past but are really fashionable now. Normally types of gemstones used in jewellery are Tigers-Eye, Amber, Moonstone, Turquoise, Jasper, Onyx, Amethyst, Garnet and Quartz. These precious stones are used due to the colourful designs and there variation. The variation of minerals greatly affects the colours of the gemstones created unique stones, other variation maybe the opaqueness or lustre of the stones, commonly the higher the lustre and translucent the stone is the higher the cost will be. All professional companies should identify the grading of all gemstones before sale.
Another point is that these could possible by a health investment for the future, not only in terms of the designer possibly becoming well known in the future but also some gemstones have increased in value, by up to 30% in recent years. Proving the handmade fad is here to stay and hopefully will continue to grow in fashion over the coming years.
