Choose Handcrafted Jewelry Websites For Something Different

By Susan Reed


People often like to wear accessories that reflect their own personal style and will often search the internet for anything that stands out. While most storefront retailers tend to follow a certain demographic or trends, there are some items that will always remain a favorite with a select group of people. Most of these people will look to handcrafted jewelry websites to find something that is unique as well as reasonably priced.

While there are many merchant and artisan sites from which to choose, the best places to buy or sell usually follow a certain criteria. Firstly, these indicate, either by the URL or image link, whether the site is secure for conducting ecommerce. Many have their own shopping cart but there are some reputable sites that will use a third party to process payments.

Images that are clear, along with details can sell most quality items. Owners of the site often reserve the right to screen new submissions so that they know buyers are getting a fair deal. Detailed information may include size, the materials the piece is made from, along with the use of keywords that the describe the item to visitors.

Keyword searches are great for listing a rare or unusual item. Visitors can simply enter a period, like the Roaring 20s, and come across a number of vintage, or retro pieces. The same would apply to jewelry made from recycled items. While there is no reason to stuff the description with keywords, there should be enough detail to give visitors a good idea of what they are getting.

More people are choosing these merchant and independent websites because of the variety and the ease of navigation. When it comes to creativity, there are few boundaries and every expression may reflect what someone else is feeling. Artisans and designers come up with incredible creations by adding unusual touches, making it a one of a kind.

Original designs can also be incorporated to reflect any theme or style. One may desire to create a jewelry line with modern shapes and monochromatic colors, or the opposite with silly characters and fun colors. Sometimes developing a niche early will help new designers market themselves so they will eventually have their own following.

Many sites stand by their beliefs when it comes to not accepting mass produced items. Additionally, they will not accept blurry or heavily edited photos, or pieces that appear to be made with poor quality materials. This is so that prices remain fair, which is why few sites allow fine jewelry. Most of these websites are targeted to young people and those who are not high end buyers.

Aspiring jewelry designers should know that success comes from a quality product that is marketed well. This means providing as much information as possible about their submission. They should also take more than one image of a single item. Usually, a front and side view will suffice but for something with unusual dimensions, back or rear images should be included to give the prospective buyer a better idea of the size.
