Hand made jewelry.

Hand made jewelry is that which is crafted by hand. Unlike modern machine jewelry, no two pieces of handmade jewelry even of the same design will be identical. Although to the naked eye they can look almost identical depending on the skills of the jewelry maker. Hand made jewelry is complex as it is created using age old metal smithing techniques such as forging, raising, chasing, soldering and much more to create these jewelry designs. All in all you will be getting an original piece of jewellery when you buy that special one off piece from non piercing jewelry.

About gold smithing techniques.

A goldsmith is a metal worker who specializes in working in gold but may also use other metals like silver. A fully realized goldsmith might have a wide array of skills and knowledge at their disposal. Usually the gold is alloyed into various blends and colors. Then the gold will then be cast into some item, usually with the lost wax casting process, or they may fabricate the work directly in metal. In the latter case, the goldsmith will use a variety of tooling, including the rolling mill, the drawplate, and perhaps swage blocks and other forming tools to make the metal into shapes needed to build the intended piece. Then parts are fabricated through a wide variety of processes and assembled by soldering. A fine goldsmith can and will work to a tolerance approaching that of precision machinery, but largely using only his eyes and hand tools.
