Owning One Of A Kind Jewelry

By Lawanda Burch


Every woman wants to own one of a kind jewelry that no-one else possesses. Many such pieces are being created today by talented designers who have a real passion for their craft. They usually pay great attention to detail and take pride in the quality of their products.

Pieces are selected by the wearer to reflect their particular style and character. Each piece has a character of its own, unlike mass produced items created by machines. For example, there may be differences in size, shape, color, materials used and how they are combined.

Many individuals look for really special pieces to compliment an outfit for a special occasion. A dramatic necklace, for example, is sure to be noticed and commented on. A pair of earrings may be chosen to pick up the color of a favorite cocktail dress. Individuals now have the option of owning a number of these items and even wear them on a daily basis to express their particular style.

These items are perfect for giving as gifts. They are much more personal than a gift that is mass produced and can be found in many stores. A selection can be made based on the particular style of the individual. The gift will be treasured because it was chosen with care. It may be something more chunky and ethnic in design, something classic and elegant with pearls or even something more playful. There are styles available to suit every taste.

Increasing numbers of designers are able to support themselves by making a living from the pieces they design and make. Having online websites gives them the opportunity of selling their products to customers worldwide. As long as they offer a reliable service, people are more than willing to pay for the satisfaction of wearing unique pieces.

Designers are not just using gold and silver today but are making use of a great variety of other non precious materials too. Stainless steel and plastics are just some of these. Some are even making use of elements of existing pieces they have found in antique stores and recreating them, combining them with more modern elements to produce fashion forward items. Old and new pieces are juxtaposed in interesting combinations.

Over the past decades, many changes have taken place. Globalization has had an influence on styles and colors. Bold African colors and delicate Asian designs have had an impact. Techniques used have improved with all the technological advancements. Thinking has also changed and designers are using more freedom not only in the materials they are using but in how they combine them.

One of the trends is to combine materials in unusual ways. For example, wooden and glass beads may be combined with silver or antique beads mixed with modern chains. Traditional techniques may be used but the pieces produced may be anything but traditional, looking more industrial and space age.

One of a kind jewelry is often created by artists who work from the heart. They are inspired to put together materials and colors in unpredictable ways, creating pieces that are very distinctive in nature. These can be worn with pride and may even be passed down through generations.
