Also, artisan handcrafted jewelry is usually much more eco-friendly than mass-produced jewelry. The artists aim for far trade with the people from whose regions they collect their materials, and often these materials reflect some aspect of that region. Handmade jewelry often employs discarded materials or byproducts of other projects eliminating waste and demonstrating the intrinsic value of even the most innocuous materials. These artists often work with or are members of the Fair Trade Federation the World Fair Trade Organization.
Artists of handmade jewelry often use elements of other cultures and worldviews in their work, like this handmade karma necklace. “What goes around, comes around,” reads the inscription, a reminder to both the wearer and anyone else that the repercussions of our actions will eventually circle round to us. This kind of self-awareness is rare in mass-produced jewelry, but it is an integral element of most artisan jewelry. Browse our wide selection and find a piece that speaks to your character.
