Hand-crafted jewellery is a tradition that has been in use for long periods of time. Jewellers draw on their imagination and love to make unique designs that are distinctive and of top quality. Making jewellery by hand just like other crafts requires years of study to improve. A skilled jeweler requires many hours and dedication to create an item of jewelry.
Here are five benefits of handcrafted NZ made jewellery
1. The quality of handmade jewellery is higher
The primary difference between hand-crafted and cast produced is in the structure that make up the metallic. When they are worked (hammered or tempered then rolled) with hands, metals are strengthened. The molecules get flattened, and are placed in a manner that resembles a brick wall. The result is an increased surface area, and the metal becomes stronger and more tensile. Metal has a higher resistance to bend, it is more durable and stronger. When it is cast (not manually worked) it is separated, and further apart , creating an unstable structure, and the risk of fracture due to air bubbles forming between the molecules.
2. Handmade jewellery is unique
The majority of jewellery sold in jewellery stores that are chain stores is created by the moulding or casting process. This is the process where the wax model is created to make a mould of plaster. The mould is filled with metal to create a mass-production of a single style of jewelry. This means that there may be several people with the same engagement ring you have. Being a jeweler, you can be sure there’s only one similar to it. Even though there are similar designs available every one is unique in the way that is unique to it.
3. Hand-crafted jewellery is ethically sourced
The public is becoming more conscious of purchasing ethically produced products. It doesn’t matter if it’s clothing, food or jewelry, consumers are more inclined to purchase from companies who produce products that have less environmental impact in a non-cruel method. A majority of the handmade jewelry that we sell are produced using ethically sourced stones and metals. We take our role in making a shift towards an ethical and sustainable business extremely carefully. Our jewelers are available be able to assist you in any question you may have regarding where our metals and gemstones come from.
4. Help small-scale businesses
Making your own jewellery is a great option to support small-scale firms. Instead of purchasing an engagement ring through an multinational corporation that manufactures its products, buy handcrafted jewelry from your local jeweler. This way, the money you spend is returned to the community and the local economy. The support of small-scale businesses is more sustainable for the environment.
