Novica hosts the largest handmade jewelry market place on the Internet, featuring some 15,000 unique designs, direct from master artisans in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Bimadona specializes in assisting jewelers who still create limited-edition collections with traditional, handmade techniques.

Five Reasons to Buy Handmade Jewelry

Executive Summary By Elaine Rojas

Handcrafted jewelry makes a lovely Christmas present for women and teen girls. Handcrafted jewelry is also often referred to as Artisan jewelry. Artisan jewelry is some of the most beautiful handmade jewelry in the world. It excels store-bought, mass-produced jewelry in a number of ways. While most handcrafted jewelry is more expensive than store-bought jewelry, it is also typically better constructed and from better materials. Cheap jewelry requires the use of cheap materials and fast, often careless, labor. Cheap jewelry does not become a family heirloom the way handcrafted jewelry does.
