What makes handmade earrings a special purchase?
Handmade earrings are something that you can’t find in stores. They are designed by someone who is passionate about their work and it shows. It’s not just the design of these earrings, but also what they stand for. Buying a pair of handmade earrings means supporting a local artist, designer or maker’s family.
Shopping Locally is Great for Buyers and Sellers
It’s also great to know your purchase is unique. While on many occasions it may be cheaper to buy gifts from a chain store such as Kmart, it’s the one-of-a-kind aspect to handmade jewellery that makes it special.
Chain stores may have the same items, but handmade jewellery is something that can’t be mass produced. When you shop at a store such as Flicka Handmade, you’re provided with an opportunity to purchase unique pieces and support local businesses and families in your community.
Maker benefits
There’s also many benefits for artisans when it comes to selling their handmade products. Makers can be flexible and create custom designs for sale across well known handmade sites such as Etsy. With over 100,000 designs on Etsy alone, there’s an opportunity for artisans to be creative and make the design their own.
Customer benefits
Customers can also benefit from knowing exactly where your product is coming from when you shop locally. You know that your jewellery comes from a reputable source rather than potentially dangerous factories overseas or other places where labourers may be disadvantaged.
Considering the human aspect of handmade earrings is beneficial to both the buyer and maker. It’s better for your wallet, and it’s beneficial to the people who made them.
Where to buy
You can purchase handmade earrings in stores such as Etsy or online from local makers. Some of these sellers may also offer custom order requests so you truly do receive an item that is 100% unique and different.
Thank you for choosing to shop handmade.
