Why Handcrafted Jewelry is More Thoughtful

Why Handcrafted Jewelry is More Thoughtful

It certainly cannot be denied that big jewelry companies are big for a reason - they're good at what they do! But the drawback to buying jewelry that is mass-produced is the fact that so many other people will also have it. There are some pieces, like anniversary necklaces or wedding bands for example, that are so personal that it doesn't feel as though they should be shared with thousands of other people. We at SWCreations believe that handcrafted jewelry is the best kind of jewelry!

Great Shoes? Show 'Em Off With Anklets!

You spent all that time -- and money -- on picking out some terrific shoes. Wearing them makes you feel stylish and sexy. So how about adding to the glamor with a beaded anklet?

Sapphire gemstones are treasured for their beauty and their hardness. They are the third hardest gemstone known to man, with a 9 on the Mohs scale. Only diamonds and moissanite are harder. Because of their hardness, they are used not only in jewelry, where their durability lets them absorb rough handling but in scientific instruments such as solid-state electronics. The best sapphires come from Asia, although they are also found in Africa, Australia, and North America.
