Hand Making Opal Jewelry - A Marriage of Art and Craftsmanship

This entry was posted on October 13 2016 by Kelly Rice

Do It Yourself projects have broadened, moving past home repairs or decorative crafts.  Today, people enjoy making things for themselves that touch every part of their lives.  From home made facial treatments and makeup to creating hand made opal jewelry, there are now workshops, boutique classes and plenty of Pinterest links for ways to create just about anything.

Making your own opal jewelry isn't easy, but it can be incredibly fulfilling.  Taking rich, uncut opals and crafting them into something unique, something that truly reflects your own style, is something everyone should do in their lives.  Custom made jewelry is particularly beautiful because each piece is as unique as not only the person wearing it - but the person who crafted it as well.

Anytime you create something of your own, it will reflect your style, your talent and your own personal touch.  It's a big reason why Do It Yourself jewelry has become so popular.

What many people don't realize, however, is how much work goes into each piece of hand made jewelry.  Necklaces, rings and bracelets seem simple enough when you are admiring the final product, but that's a testament to the skill of the artisan who created it.  Just as a professional dancer or musician can make their trade appear effortless, a jewelry artist can create pieces which boast a beauty that appears simple and seamless, but which actually represents hours, days - even months - of hard work.

Jewelry making can be a deeply rewarding process, but you don't have to invest in precious metal clay mixes, metalsmithing tools and a dedicated studio in order to experience the joy of creating something unique.  You can also create your own hand made opal jewelry through our Customized Jewelry option.  We work with you in order to make creating custom opal jewelry as simple and easy as possible.  We give you access to our stunning selection of uncut opals, precious metals and setting options to create pendants, rings, bangles and bracelets that will be a stunning and unique addition to your jewelry collection.  Each piece is hand crafted by artists with one goal in mind - to create the perfect piece for you.

Creating jewelry is truly a labor of love.  From forming and polishing each gemstone to choosing the materials to best accentuate their natural beauty and finally setting the stone at the perfect angle in the perfect setting - he process demands a mixture of talent, expertise, skill and ingenuity.  It's a deeply rewarding process and one I invite you to participate in by building your own custom piece with our convenient, easy to use system for customizing opal jewelry.
