Handmade jewelry
Handmade products are popular for their uniqueness. Designer jewelry looks elegant, neat, without too much pathos. Handmade jewelry can be made by a reputable master or a beginner, it will affect its value. With proper skill such jewelry can be made personally. Designers think through every little thing, which means that jewelry is very unique.
The authors of such products can rightly be called people of art. The evolution in the sphere of “hand made” has led to the fact that you can buy even silver jewelry. The latter, by the way, is especially popular among lovers of copyright works.
The designer 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 at a business event, for everyday use and for a business evening.
- Trend costume jewelry. Considering such products, you will notice a large variety in materials, shapes and colors. Such decorations can have a different look: delicate products can combine a variety of materials or bright colorful costume jewelry of 2-3 materials. This jewelry can be used on any occasion. The main thing is to comply with the style in the dress and decorative products.
- Avant-garde These products are fundamentally different from previous ones. Most of the forms are asymmetric, and the materials are combined outside the box. Such products often have an ethnic character. They should be worn on theme nights. Exclusivity and originality of jewelry exclude its use in everyday life.
How to choose
Handmade jewelry has a higher cost than mass-produced jewelery. The secret lies in the uniqueness. Ornaments are made either in a single copy, or a small batch. In addition, the production of one product takes a lot of time. The author thinks about every detail and puts a piece of himself in his decoration. It is important to understand these points before proceeding to the selection. Need to consider:
- material;
- style;
- the size;
- the quality of the work of the author.
Choosing jewelry remotely is not an easy task. Placed goods must have the required number of photos and a detailed description. The latter should deal with the material, size, color and more detailed information about the additional decorative elements. Data on materials is especially valuable if the jewelry is children's. The photographs themselves should have a good color rendition and give an opportunity to assess the exact size of the decoration.
Buying jewelry from private craftsmen is not always convenient. You can choose a shop or association of masters. In this case, you will have the opportunity to arrange delivery to your city and pay for your favorite product in a convenient way.

Author's decorations are distinguished by their versatility. The same sets can be used with clothes of different styles. This is one of the reasons for the popularity of such jewelry. Shambala 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 a massive jewelry, then you should not supplement it with anything. You should not wear bright and massive jewelry with business style clothing. This combination is inappropriate and ridiculous.If you just want to highlight some areas, then use earrings and pendants.
