 Why go for handcrafted artisan jewelry when there are so many imitations around? You might escape wearing a duplicate branded garment but keen eyes can easily make out the difference between fake and authentic ones. Imitation jewelry might look good but they are completely outshone in the presence of uniquely handcrafted artisan jewelry. Artisan handmade jewelry goes back in history as early as 7000 BC. During those early years gold and copper started to be shaped to decorate the human form. It is true that artisan handmade jewelry rarely competes on price with machine-made items. However, artisan handmade jewelry is treasured for its uniqueness, diversity and often exceptional exquisiteness. Artisan Handcrafted Jewelry as the name suggests, involves a process where jewelers carve, mold, engrave and set jewelry pieces by hand, sometimes, working for many days on a single piece of jewelry. The end result is so inspiring that you often end up for a loss of words when you want to thank the jeweler for the precision and perfect work he has come up with. Custom designs are a way to give every person a unique look. Many artisan jewelers will work with you to create fabulous one of a kind handcrafted earrings, pendants and more that are truly made just for you. Custom handcrafted jewelry has a distinct, original look and feel; most pieces are not easily copied because they contain unique gemstones or are personalized. Instead of mass produced cast settings, individually made bezels hold free form cut gemstones. Hand stamped accessories have made personalized items like message pendants more popular than ever. Artists are using glass to make beautiful beads that mimic miniature oceans with fish and gardens with fabulous tiny flowers. There is no limit to artisan jewelery design, because there is no limit to the imagination.
