The Internet Enables Me to Buy from Jewelry Artists I'd Never Know of Otherwise

I love to shop from jewelry artists' websites. The things I find there are items I'd never see in a store - which is exactly why I buy them.

I want to wear and give unique things.

However, I do have to admit that several times when I've bought handmade jewelry for a gift for someone - I fell in love with the piece and couldn't give it away after all! So some of these pieces have gone into my own collection, and I love them, although I do feel a little guilty for keeping them myself.

In my experience, people love to receive handmade jewelry as a gift, especially when the artist sends it in some sort of pretty or artistic packaging. When the artist packages it, it feels and looks like a particularly special gift.

I've always had really good experiences with shopping from jewelry artists' websites, and one of the best things about the Internet is that I can even shop from jewelry artists who live in other states.

I thought packaging was all smoke and mirrors, but based on your comment on some other comments on this site, I see it really does matter to the buyer.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your comments and for supporting individual artists and buying their creations instead of mass produced items.

Not only can you buy from artists in other States, but you can buy from people in other countries!!

Thank you,
