Why buy handmade?
There are multiple benefits to buying a handmade piece of jewellery compared to machine made, mass produced jewellery.
Jewellery is made on a smaller scale with attention to detail and precision going into each piece. There is time, effort and skill involved in creating the jewellery and the higher quality materials used also ensure durability.
You know the history and story behind your piece of jewellery and have a connection to the artist who created it.
Handmade also puts money back into the local community. It helps keep the skills and traditions of the local jewellers alive and helps preserve ancient traditions and craftmanship that may otherwise be lost.
Handmade products usually have a lower carbon footprint than mass produced items and produce less waste from materials ensuring the jewellery you wear is beautiful as well as ethical and sustainable.
By buying handmade you are directly supporting the artist, designer and their families.
