Australian handmade jewellery is carefully crafted by artisans across the country. Made from materials such as resin to polymer clay, silver and gold. Each piece is made with love and attention and reflects the incredible creative talent that we have in Australia.
The Making Process of Australian Handmade Jewellery
Every artist has their own unique techniques for making Australian handmade jewellery. Some like to source the materials first whilst others like to design the creation first, like the artist Andrea from Purplefish Designs. There is no 'one-way' when it comes to creating artisan unique jewellery. When you buy handmade jewellery you are buying a piece of art to wear each day.
Sustainability and Ethical Considerations in Australian Jewellery Making
Many Australian jewellery artists commit to using ethically sourced materials and eco-friendly methods. This commitment includes utilising recycled metals and gemstones or up-cycled components. Opting for Australian handmade jewellery means finding a unique piece while supporting sustainable and ethical craftsmanship.
Buying Australian Handmade Jewellery
Purchasing Australian handmade jewellery supports local artists and crafters. Each piece purchased brings absolute joy to the creator. When selecting these pieces, it's vital to consider the craftsmanship, the quality of materials used, and the story behind the jewellery. Prices may vary, reflecting the materials and the time invested in each piece. Many Australian jewellers also offer bespoke services, allowing buyers to have a personal connection with their jewellery.
Care and Maintenance of Handmade Jewellery
Alongside every unique handmade piece of jewellery comes a unique set of instructions to care for your new art piece. Make sure you read any instructions that may be included with your purchase. It is always advised to store jewellery in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Regular cleaning with suitable methods for different materials – like softly wiping metals and stones with a soft cloth – is crucial. Remember to remove jewellery during activities that might cause damage. The care that you give your items will help maintain the beauty of your Australian handmade jewellery for many years.
