Businesses strive day in and day out to stay abreast of the rising competition in the market. The same goes for the jewelry business; many entrepreneurs have mushroomed in this category. Big stores like Forever21 have the advantage of producing products in bulk; however, this lacks the uniqueness that customers can get from handmade jewelry. Handmade Jewelry and Mass-produced Jewelry Huge stores are able to sell jewelry at lower prices as they produce each design in large volumes which turns out to be cheap for them. While handmade jewelry is very intricately produced and can be customized to customer needs. Each piece of jewelry is delicately put together by the designer. The uniqueness of handmade jewelry has been appreciated and loved in all times but its value and worth is still underestimated. It has always been appealing to people who value exclusivity, craftsmanship and enjoy having a piece of jewelry matching their exact requirements. Creating handmade jewelry is quite a tedious and difficult task; the designer gives absolute attention to each piece of jewelry he or she creates. Many customers adore handmade jewelry but avoid buying it once they see a higher price tag as compared to jewelry available in huge stores. The effort that goes into producing one piece of jewelry by hand is considerably many folds higher as it requires a lot of time and dedication from the crafts person. Most handmade jewelry starts from $15 and can go up to as high as $200 to cater to buyers from different categories; from low to high end. 1. Quality Mass-produced jewelry may vary in quality; chipped pieces and broken stones are common complaints that many customers face when they go to purchase jewelry from stores. However, the quality of the raw material used, such as; threads, beads, stones, chains, is given top priority to ensure absolute customer satisfaction. Jewelers who design a piece themselves can ensure quality, and durability of the product since each piece is delicately designed. 2. Time It is easy and time saving to produce in bulk for huge jewelry businesses such as H&M which is why they are able to sell a piece of jewelry for as low as $4. While on the other hand, handmade jewelry takes a lot of time since there are no machines involved and each piece is exclusively crafted. On average, a piece of handmade beaded jewelry formed by hands takes up to 3 to 8 hours or even more; sometimes weeks, depending on the detailing, type of material and the complexity of the design. 3. Expenses Most designers who create handmade jewelry work from home. They have to incur huge travel expenses to especially go to purchase good quality raw material from their own pocket. Unlike huge stores that have warehouses to store large quantity of raw material, jewelers who work from home don’t have that much space to store items. 4. Exclusivity Simply put, this is probably the top reason why handmade jewelry is priced higher than other jewelry pieces that are widely available – handmade jewelry is exclusive. Designers produce only produce a particular design once, twice or may be thrice to the maximum. This is to ensure each customer gets a unique and personalized set of jewelry. Many designers in California that produce beautiful handmade beaded jewelry even make number jewelry for you that can bring you good luck and success in life. Are you part of the handmade jewelry appreciation club or do you love to wear exclusive earrings, necklaces and stones? Check out for details about how numerology jewelry can be the first step to success and make you feel beautiful and confident.
