Handcrafted Jewelry – Making You Fall In Love With Jewelry All Over Again!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Handcrafted jewelry has been around for quite a long time. It has evolved from a crude and somewhat unsophisticated past to its modern dazzling forms over the years. Today, handcrafted jewelry offers a wide array of choices. One of the latest trends to be noticed is the vogue of wearing handcrafted jewelry with engravings. Line of poetry, or simply a few golden words of wisdom that inspire and motivate, are being hand engraved on beautiful pieces of jewelry to great effect. This practice has lent a whole new dimension to the intrinsic beauty and status of handcrafted jewelry. Let’s take a closer look.

One of the best names in this exclusive world of engraved handcrafted jewelry is that of Jeanine Payer. Poetry hand-engraved onto precious metals is how this San Francisco-based jewelry designer creates her collections of emotionally engaging yet subtle hand inscribed jewelry. Take the Alene bracelet from her creations, for example. It’s a brushed, sterling silver cuff accented with an 18k high polish gold face plate with a hand-textured look on both the interior and exterior surfaces. It carries Emerson’s immortal lines engraved on the gold face, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Some of her popular creations bear such unforgettable words as “The journey is the reward”; “The soul is here for its own joy” and “Everything is waiting for you”. Indeed, there are few things as intimate as wearing poetry against your skin!

Handcrafted Jewelry – Fashion Redefined

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Handcrafted jewelry is probably the perfect choice. These jewelries are often personalized and unique. They have a wide variety of styles and are best to meet the demands of different individuals with varied tastes and preferences. Be it rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants or bracelets, handcrafted jewelry adds a different touch. The special ones are those which have personalized messages and romantic poems engraved on them. These personalizations make the handcrafted jewelries unique and reflect individual styles. Irrespective of an individual’s choice for elegance and specific color combinations or something bright and sassy that will really draw a lot of attention, these original and unique pieces of jewelry are probably the best choice for anyone who loves to be different.

Once considered funky and targeted to a limited market, the handcrafted jewelry has come a long way to become the latest buzz in the fashion mainstream. It has been re-invented as artisan jewelry and it appeals to a broader market of affluent buyers attracted to its uniqueness and limited availability. As an article of ostentation or for sending across a message of love and passion, personalized handcrafted jewelry has no substitutes. It can even be easily available through online stores, customized with one’s own message or poems and still highlight one’s style statement in a way that would not go unnoticed. The arrival of handcrafted jewelry trends with all these exclusive benefits has really redefined fashion in the present day.
