According to global trends, consumers spend 51% less on apparel and accessories.
Consumers believe quality ingredients and skilled preparation make a noticeable difference in everything from their lunch to their rings.
But what makes handcrafted engagement rings superior? We've broken it down below.
Jewelry's "Je ne Sais Quoi"
Something about a custom design of anything makes it more appealing and interesting. Handcrafted jewelry is more intricate and thoughtful. The designer's intent results in an indefinable personality unique to handmade pieces.
In art and design, "personality" is difficult to define. Consider the difference between entering a boxed, mass-manufactured home or building and an architecturally significant one. A more memorable and impressive experience is usually the result of attention to detail, intention, and general thoughtfulness.
The same is true for handcrafted jewelry. A jewelry maker's meticulous craftsmanship and thought process make a noticeable difference in the result.
Handmade jewelry does not rely on a brand name to establish its legitimacy. There is no shortage of overpriced "brand name" jewelry devoid of quality and creativity. Handmade jewelers work independently and rely on their work's quality and personality to speak for them.
Most brand status fades over time, and few brands can transcend decades and styles (like Chanel, for example). When it comes to jewelry, the quality of a piece will determine its longevity.
Creative Customization
Handmade jewelry provides unrivaled opportunities for personalization and creativity. When designing a custom piece, your imagination and skill set are the only limits. Handmade jewelry, for example, can usually achieve more delicate designs and finer bands without casting. It also encourages the use of more unusual materials and the mixing of metals.
Imaginative and thoughtful individuals can request original designs or modifications to existing designs. Working with someone who makes handmade jewelry usually results in an open line of communication, which results in a much higher level of customer service.
Non-creative people benefit as well. Working with a skilled artist will give them the confidence to put the design in the hands of the creator if they want to create something meaningful or modify heirloom jewelry.
There is no comparison to be made when looking for jewelry for sentimental reasons. Personalizing handmade jewelry allows you to create a truly unique piece of jewelry.
Excellence in Quality and Craftsmanship
Aside from what has already been stated, the quality and craftsmanship of handmade jewelry are unparalleled. For example, it is usually denser, which makes it more durable.
Aside from craftsmanship, materials are one of the most important quality differentiators in handmade jewelry. People who take pride in their work want to use the best materials available. Artists are concerned about the origins and quality of their materials because it is fundamental to the integrity of their work. Jewelry designers consider their work to be art and strive to be the best.
Most jewelers are genuinely interested in minerals and artistry and will not accept second best. They will go above and beyond to find the highest quality materials and have the knowledge and resources to do so. When you choose high-quality, pure materials, you don't have to worry as much about allergic reactions to metals or turning your skin green.
