How to Find Quality Handcrafted Silver Jewelry

Many women today search high and low for handcrafted silver jewelry. This type of jewelry is very popular because it is silver and handcrafted. Handcrafted jewelry pieces are much more original than traditional jewelry pieces which are manufactured by a franchise. Although these are beautiful pieces, they do not make a statement like handcrafted silver jewelry does.

 

Silver jewelry is very popular because it is traditional. Silver goes with just about any outfit and color so it is a common and trendy type of metal used in handcrafted jewelry. This type of metal can be treated with an anti-tarnish element which adds to its longevity.

 

For these reasons, handcrafted silver jewelry is in high demand. One should know how to find top quality handcrafted silver jewelry. The reason one must take time in finding quality handcrafted silver jewelry is because many companies are producing these pieces in large quantities. Large quantities of handcrafted jewelry may not be of the highest quality since some companies are focused more on producing the items.

 

In looking for a company to purchase handcrafted silver jewelry a person should look for their company philosophy. This is often found on the about us page of a website. In the company philosophy one can always find out purposes for producing handcrafted silver jewelry.

 

Also in this section it will tell about who makes the handcrafted jewelry or where the silver jewelry is ordered from. One can tell if the handcrafted silver jewelry is made by designers or by individuals in factories. Some countries have factories which use people to produce these jewelry pieces in large quantities. These individuals are not jewelry designers. A person looking for handcrafted silver jewelry should look to see if the company mentions their designers and where they are located. Some companies will even provide information about these designers.

 

The type of materials should also be considered when looking for quality handcrafted silver jewelry. Silver comes in various types and qualities. Some silver is simply silver plated and will tarnish easily while others are actual sterling silver. Every company should specify the type of silver used which will help an individual find better quality handcrafted jewelry.

 

One company that has quality handcrafted silver jewelry is Sitara Collections. This company uses high quality materials as well as designers who painstakingly design these pieces. The handcrafted sterling jewelry available through Sitara Collections is very intricate and detailed. They offer a wide variety of beautifully stunning pieces.

I am starting a handmade jewelry business. Need a catchy name?

I make jewelry with Silver, Copper & Gold wire... I wire wrap gemstones and shells, etc. I'm pretty sure I want the name to involve the word "Wire" but want something catchy! Here are some I came up with that I'm not real happy with... Anyone have any better suggestions?

"Wired Up"
"Heavy Metalz"
"Wire Designs by Brandy"
"Wonderful Wire Designs"

?????
Thanks!
Also chainmaille bracelets (think of armor chainmaille) earrings, etc.

Because your jewelry business specializes in one particular medium or style of craft then why not use your own name. Such as Brandy Lastname, Jewelry Artist, or Brandy Lastname, Wired Designs.

If you have built a reputation for quality and unique designs, it is acceptable to use your name as the name of your jewelry business, but try to avoid using your first name alone. Wouldn't you prefer to hear someone say: "That piece was made by the jewelry designer (or wire artist), Brandy Lastname." rather than, "I bought this bracelet at a craft show, I think it was made by someone named Brandy."

There is nothing wrong with using your own name, all the famous designers in the world are known for their names. Donna Karran of New York, Kalvin Klien, Oscar DeLarenta, Christine Dior, Laura Ashley, Levi Strauss, are all well known designer names and consumers pay high prices to own products with these names on them.

As a jewelry designer you too could turn your name into a recognition.
