Handmade jewelry
Handmade products are popular due to their uniqueness. Author's jewelry looks elegant, neat, without unnecessary pathos. Handmade jewelry can be made by a reputable craftsman or by a novice, this will affect its value. With proper skill, such jewelry can be made with your own hands. Designers think over every little thing, which means that jewelry is particularly unique.
The authors of such products can rightly be called people of art. The evolution in the field of "hand made" has led to the fact that you can even buy silver jewelry. The latter, by the way, is especially popular among lovers of copyrighted works.
Author's jewelry is conditionally divided into three types:
- Classic. This style is characterized by strict lines and regular shapes. Mostly bed shades and natural materials. Such jewelry is quite appropriate for a business event, for everyday use and for a business evening.

Such jewelry can have a different look: delicate products can combine many materials or bright colorful jewelry from 2-3 materials. This jewelry can be used for any occasion. The main thing is to observe the style in the outfit and decorative products.

Such products are often ethnic in nature. They are worth wearing for theme nights. The exclusivity and originality of jewelry preclude its use in everyday life.
How to choose
Handmade jewelry has a higher cost than mass-produced jewelry. The secret lies in the uniqueness. Jewelry is made either in a single copy or in a small batch. In addition, the production of one product takes a lot of time. The author thinks through every detail and puts a piece of himself into his jewelry. It is important to understand these points before proceeding with the selection. You need to take into account:
- material;
- style;
- the size;
- the quality of the author's work.
Choosing jewelry remotely is not an easy task. The placed goods must have the required number of photographs and a detailed description. The latter should talk about material, size, color and more detailed information about additional decorative elements. Information about materials is especially valuable if the jewelry is for children. The photographs themselves should have good color reproduction and make it possible to assess the exact dimensions of the decoration.
Buying jewelry from private masters is not always convenient. You can choose a shop or an association of craftsmen. In this case, you will have the opportunity to arrange delivery to your city and pay for the product you like in a convenient way. For example, there is a Spanish network UNO de 50, under the name of which talented designers-masters work. Such jewelry will have a special logo and favorably distinguish you from other people.
Author's jewelry is distinguished by its versatility. The same sets can be used with different styles of clothing.This is one of the reasons for the popularity of such jewelry. Shambhala bracelets are generally relevant with any clothes and at any time. That is why many media personalities prefer to use them instead of standard products made of gold or silver.
It is not recommended to wear more than three jewelry. If you choose massive jewelry, then you should not supplement it with anything at all. Do not wear bright and massive jewelry with business-style clothing. This combination is inappropriate and ridiculous. If you just want to emphasize some areas, then use earrings and pendants.
