Handmade Jewelry - The Timeless Attraction
The appeal of handmade jewelry seems to have taken over the ornament industry by storm. Be it bangles, bracelets, ear rings or ever neckpieces, more and more people seem to prefer to buy hand crafted ornaments rather than settle for machine made repetitions. Those who want to stand apart from the crowd and prefer to purchase unusual jewellery will find that their desire shall find fruit in the handmade ornaments section of the jewellery shop.
While platinum and gold are highly preferred metals, when it comes to handmade ornaments, silver is still lurking in the background somewhere since the basic intent of silver jewellery is the keep the price on the lower end. Handmade jewellery takes a longer time to produce than machine made ornaments do and the artisans also invest more time and effort into making these pieces. This is one of the main reasons as to why handmade ornaments cost more than machine made jewellery.
The advantages of handmade jewelry are several. It is a fact that in case of damage, jewellery crafted by artisans can be fixed at much lower costs as opposed to machine made jewellery. In the case of the latter, it usually means melting the entire piece and starting from scratch again. In the case of handmade ornaments, the artisan simply needs to fix the fault without having to bother with the rest of the piece.
One also has the option of re-designing the ornament into another pattern at very low cost when it comes to handmade jewellery. Machine made ornaments cannot be re-designed with as much ease and the cost of recycling goes up so high that one might as well simply buy another piece rather than change the design of the present one.
Another huge advantage of handmade ornaments is that they allow for the artisans own creativity. The finesse and the style of the ornament, reflects the standard of the artisans expertise and so each artisan tries to create unusual jewellery that is pleasing and attractive. There is no personal pride in machine made jewellery and this is that reason why mostly these pieces are quite literally, run of the mill.
When purchasing handmade jewellery from a jewellery shop, keep in mind that one should exercise the same caution as when buying machine made jewellery. Mostly the purity of the metal will be crafted on the jewellery item itself, but one must seek a certificate of authentication too. Make sure you do not ignore the stones that have been incorporated into the design and seek a carat and weight certificate for them too. Do inquire about how much you are paying as labour charges and carefully consider if the ornament is worth it.

PANDORA DIY is it an authentic copy?
Has anyone else had trouble returning goods to Pandora DIY, a colleague bought a bracelet from Pandora DIY and asked me to compare it to the one she purchased from Pandora DIY, the bracelet was not as thick as mine and the word Pandora engraved on the clasp does not have the Pandora crown above the O as well as the inside of the claps was shiny and mine is dull, the gold on the some of the charms she had was wearing off and was a very dark gold colour compared to mine. She is having trouble returning the goods even though they have a returns policy.
Unfortunately, this is something many people get caught out on. Copies are often a bad consumer choice and often cause more problems in the long run than they save. I might suggest your friend mark this one up to experience and save her time and money. If she does pursue the refund route may I wish her all the very best of luck. (Advice: If she paid via credit card, she may be able to use the cards insurance to gain a refund without sending the item back, tell her to consult her credit card company).
