What makes handmade jewellery better than the normal mass-produced pieces you see on the high street? In short, handmade jewellery pieces have far more attention to detail and care invested into them. This, alongside many other benefits, means the experience you get with a smaller handcrafted jewellery business is second to none. So today we'll explore just what makes handmade jewellery a better choice for your accessory wardrobe.
Crafted by the Experts for Lasting Durability
When you opt for a handmade piece it is meticulously designed and created with lasting durability in mind. At Silver Hollow Jewellery (and we're sure many other handmade businesses) each piece undergoes a careful design, testing and crafting process, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. By combining expert techniques with high-quality materials, we create jewellery that not only reflects the care and creativity of our design but also withstands the test of time. When crafted by the hands of artisans who care, you can enjoy your jewellery that will be cherished for years to come.
Customized Designs for Your Unique Style
Unlike most mass-produced jewellery, handcrafted pieces can be personalised or custom designed from scratch. However, it can be a rare opportunity to find a handmade brand that is open to custom orders, but with us, any custom idea you have is a possibility. We work closely with you to bring your vision to life, offering a range of design options to create a truly personalised piece. From a variety of custom gemstone pieces, specific birth years on our recycled coin rings, or bespoke designed pendants, we ensure that your jewellery is unique to you and your preferences.
You may find quick and easy custom jewellery on sites like Amazon, but the mass-produced nature and automated processing can never match the experience and quality found with handmade businesses. Contact us today to discuss your very own personalised custom jewellery!
Stand Out with Unique Handcrafted Jewellery
With handmade jewellery, you know that every item has been carefully inspected and formed by artisan hands. Not only does this ensure quality and beauty, it means that the piece you're now wearing is one of a kind. Even with products like our silver skull ring which is cast from the same hand-carved mould, every piece is finished by hand so has its own minute differences that make it totally unique. Mass-produced jewellery, on the other hand (no pun intended), uses machine processing, meaning your accessories are identical to thousands of others roaming the world.
Ethical Sourcing: Sustainable Materials for Conscious Consumers
We believe in the importance of ethical sourcing and sustainability in the jewellery industry. That's why we are committed to using sustainable materials in our handcrafted jewellery. From using 100% recycled sterling silver, coins and cutlery to responsibly sourced gemstones, we ensure that our creations are aligned with our brand value of sustainability. By choosing our handcrafted jewellery, you can gain unique, quality accessories while making an ethical and sustainable choice that contributes to a better future for our planet.
Empowering Artisans: Supporting Independent Businesses
Every time you choose to purchase handmade products the difference it can make is immense. Instead of the convenient option of purchasing from profit-hungry chain stores, you will have supported someone's livelihood. Not only does this mean the world to independent businesses like ours, but it means the service you will receive will be one of total care and quality. Aside from purchasing, even sharing a small business's content or leaving a positive review can be a massive help. For us in particular, even the people who stop by our local markets for a chat, or leave a friendly message make our whole week. Find out more about our independent business and how we started our journey here.
Embrace Individuality with Limited Editions
Experience the joy of owning a truly unique piece with our limited edition collections. With some of our product drops a design is meticulously crafted and released in limited quantities. These can then sell out quickly, and although we don't like to disappoint, we also understand the value of having designs that are exclusive and fitting to your own taste. This is also part of our creative process of discovering new techniques and designs, which won't necessarily be repeated. An example of this is our recent one-off pieces which are cast in sand, with gemstones such as sapphires set into the molten metal as it cools. The natural formation of the settings and organic texture leads to one of a kind pieces that we love to make.
So, we hope this has let you know exactly why choosing handmade jewellery is better than opting for mass produced. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or browse our shop to experience it all for yourself!
