In an industrious world dependent on manufactures, the pure simplicity and authenticity of art wear stands out among the rest. This higher end jewelry is sought for its uniqueness and praised for its excellent craftsmanship, distinctiveness, and originality. Talented artisans around the world are able to sell their precious products online in order to reach customers from all backgrounds. By handcrafting jewelry, the cultures of many different lands are captured in these fine pieces of jewelry. For example, the aluminum and copper cuff bracelets made by Chileans are inspired by the ancient artwork of Chile, expertly etched onto the metal.
Beyond keeping up with cultural traditions, purchasing handmade jewelry is a way to live eco friendly in that a lot of the jewelry is made from recycled goods, such as wonderful wooden handmade rings, handcrafted earrings, and bracelets made from recycled lumber or reclaimed wood in Nicaragua or necklaces made from California sea glass. Beyond this comfort, it is also nice to know that these handmade jewlery crafters represent one of more of the following organizations: World Fair Trade Organization, Fair Trade Federation, Green America, 1% for the Planet, and Aid to Artisans.
In supporting the World Fair Trade Organization, buying handcrafted jewelry works to reduce poverty in economically disadvantaged communities, does not take advantage of maximizing profit from these artisans, adheres to the child labor laws and payments of fair price. It also ensures the artisans are working in safe conditions and maximizes the use of raw materials, buying locally when possible.
