What is the Difference Between Designer Handmade Jewelry and Manufactured Jewelry?

To begin with, mass-produced jewelry is obviously going to be cheaper, lack uniqueness, and is usually of much lower quality. When you purchase a piece of handmade jewelry chances are that you have a unique piece that is one of a limited edition collection. You'll never have to think twice about running into someone and seeing the same piece of jewelry on their wrist or around their neck at a party or even stepping out of the house for any daily routine. Handmade Jewelry is also part of a much more intricate process. It is much more labor intensive in the sense that countless hours go into creating, designing and handcrafting a single piece of jewelry, which explains why the cost for designer handmade jewelry is usually higher than mass produced pieces. Another explanation of the higher price is usually the materials used are usually handpicked and made of only the best possible stones and metals.
