RedPanda:I buy handmade artisan jewelry because I know I'm getting something from a skilled person who truly knows and appreciates their craft. Choosing top quality materials and assembling them lovingly is something I value in a piece I can pass down from generation to generation in my family. A piece made with love will be loved for years to come.

JansArtJewelry:That we have beautiful, affordable, unique items of wearable art that the owner won’t see on any other woman!

NightSkyJewelry:
Buying jewelry directly from the artisan who designed and created it makes it more than just another purchase, or just another piece of jewelry to wear when it happens to match an outfit. It makes it a personalized experience between two people, forming a relationship quite unlike any other. Even if you never see or buy from that particular artist again, every time you put on the piece of jewelry you bought from her/him, you will remember that person and the conversations you had together. If you actually took part in the process of its creation by choosing the stones, the design, the size, whatever, then the piece will become even more meaningful to you as time goes by.

Here are some fine examples of Handmade Artisan Jewelry!
