Handmade Jewelry

Hand made jewellery is the jewellery which has been assembled and formed by hands rather than through the use of machines.According to the guidelines of FTC ,in order to be stamped or called “handmade”the work must be made solely by hand power or and guidance.This means that jewellery can be made with the drills and other machines but only under the guidance of hand.The American Gems Trade Association Spectrum Awards and the Dee beers Awards include the awards specifically for hand made jewellery. Although there is much mass produced jewelry in the world, there are many people who prefer to have work that is hand-crafted by a real artisan, and the arena of hand made jewelry and other items will likely remain healthy because of that fact. Much jewelry that is marked or sold as "hand made" often is not truly so, though it may be essentially so.Handmade jewelry using wire wrapping / sculpting have been found in the early remains of Egyptian, Roman, Etruscan, Byzantine, Iraqi and Viking civilizations to name but a few.Handmade jewellery includes necklaces, bracelets,earrings,rings made of gems and pearls.
