Handmade Jewellery April 3, 2008

I think that jewellery is always so much nicer and far more special when it’s not mass-produced. Of course, on a student budget, the few jewellery items I buy are little plastic necklaces and bracelets for £3, but when you want to give a gift or buy yourself something pretty and unique, handmade one-off jewellery is really the only way to go. I also have to profess my newfound love for Etsy an website in the same vein as Ebay where online crafters sell (at a fixed price, as opposed to auction) their handmade and vintage goods. I bring up Etsy because I found a seller that does gorgeous handmade jewellery at a range of prices - SilverMonk. Chimin, the independent artist who creates and sells the jewellery, handmakes pieces that are both charming and unique, such as the gorgeous Organic Charm earrings and the beautiful Song Line Pendant Necklace, pictured below.
