Why You Should Invest in Handmade Jewellery
Do you know who made your favourite necklace, the rings you wear every day or the earrings you put on to elevate your look? We do, and we also know they’ll also last the test of time.
Jewellery is one of the most personal items we own. They hold meaning, cherished memories of loved ones, love stories and symbolic moments of our lives.
Perhaps because they are so close to our skin, and our favourite pieces are hardly removed if at all, that we develop these feelings of being one with our jewellery, and feeling completely naked if we find ourselves without, and why when they are passed on, we feel so emotionally connected to the one who they originally belonged to.
But not all jewellery is created equal.
To last the test of time it’s the artisan approach that will make all the difference. We are spoilt for choice at The UNDONE with jewellers who specialise in small scale production runs, sustainable practices and use only the best materials to create your most treasured pieces.
We walk you through the artisan jewellery designers that are creating more than an just an object to be desired.
