Why Artisan Jewelry Appeals to Many People

Artisan jewelry is as unique as your signature since each artisan jeweler has their own distinctive style and design.

Many artisan jewelers work with unique metals, other than gold and silver.

You can always recognize a well known artisan jeweler's piece because of their distinctive features.

One artisan might work with a combination of metals in their designs, i.e. gold and silver, while another one uses very unique crystals and other beautiful and uncommon gems.

Artisan jewelery is also very affordable and it doesn't have anything to do with 'starving artists'. Many artisan jewelers work for themselves and work from their own studios, therefore, they can keep their expenses to a minimal, which is reflected in the final price of a piece of jewelry.

If you like one-of-a-kind jewelry, jewelry that you won't see on every 10th person, have a limited budget, like the unusual, then artisan jewelery will appeal to you.

There are many artisan jewelers who show their crafts at local craft shows, especially around Christmas time. There are also many wonderful sites like Ruby Lane and Etsy where you will find an abundant of talented artisans.

Unique Tips for Wearing Brooches

There are some very unique ways to wear a brooch besides wearing it traditionally on the right color of your shirt.

Wearing brooches in multiples is very popular. If you have several similar brooches, i.e. theme brooches--e.g. animals, stars, moons, cluster and space them apart. The smaller ones could surround a larger one.

Or if you have several different ones, see which ones would compliment each other in color, size, shape.

Besides wearing a brooch on shirt collar, you can wear them on blazer, sweater, dress.

If you have a skirt with a slit, a brooch or brooches can hold or close it together. A brooch can temporarily replace a missing button. If you have a blazer that has a button at the cuff, why not remove the button and affix a brooch--oh so chic!

This is one fashion accessory that can be worn with everything and is the finishing touch for any outfit you wear.
