Jewelry is designed by jewelry houses, and much of it is manufactured in industrial processes under strict quality control, and then is made available at your nearest store, beautifully displayed. Some of the higher end and not-so-higher end jewelry is made to order, and the client gets a personalized piece. Professionals make and deliver jewelry, and do it well too, as seen by the business they seem to be doing. Designing jewelry needs expertise, and businesses can pay experts to that for them - experts who are artists.
The advantages of manufactured jewelry are manifold - professional design, industrial, which translates to precise, quality of manufacture, and the wide variety of choice available. Add to it the experience of shopping for Jewelry, which can be a reward in itself.
Amateur Jewelry Design
From the earliest times, women have always been involved in making their own jewelry. But nowadays, making your own jewelry is more widespread than before, so much so that it can be called a new wave of trend. This is especially true for Sterling Silver findings - these findings are readily available from stores, whether online or real ones - and women have discovered that there are a lot of interesting things they can do with them.
Silver Findings
Sterling Silver is a beautiful metal. When combined with precious and semi precious gemstones, it is used to make some of the most elegant and beautiful jewelry. Silver findings are little pieces of jewelry that can are manufactured or made for the purpose of using them to make jewelry, at home or in a industrial setting. These findings can be pendants, beads, fine wire and wire pieces, solder pastes and such little pieces that are not jewelry by themselves, but can be combined and used to make jewelry that can be worn.
Advantages
Here are some advantages that are driving this trend:
* If you want a particular style of earring, you can just get a piece of wire and a stone or pendant and make it yourself. This applies especially if it’s a completely new type of jewelry, created by you only. If you copy some other style, you can personalize it by adding color or a different twist to it. All in all you get a personalized piece of jewelry worn by no one else in the world.
* Getting silver findings and making a piece is much cheaper than buying the same as part of jewelry. It's kind of obvious, but to get the real idea about how much cheaper it is, you will just have to go to the nearest store to ask around. Prepare to be surprised.
* This is a way to express your creativity - using your mind is a good exercise, whether you read a book or solve a puzzle. Creating your jewelry, and by which is meant making a "design" and then crafting it, is just such an exercise.
* Lets admit it, it won’t be as much fun for anyone if you make your own jewelry, and don’t discuss it with anyone. It gives a topic of conversation in many settings.
