Here's a question for you to ponder: Would you prefer to be wearing jewelry that you bought from a well-known jewelry (you know the name brands) or a piece that is crafted by a jeweler who doesn't yet have that stand-out, everybody-knows-them name?

The only catch is that the two pieces of jewelry would be distinctively different. The well-known piece of jewelry would be boring, while the piece of jewelry by the unknown, yet talented jeweler would be a stunning piece of work.

Of course, the question may seem shallow, but not many people seem to think about this difference when they go out to purchase a new piece of jewelry. Most people think about the big, name brand jewelers when they are in the market to purchase a new piece of jewelry. They walk into the store, look over the inventory, and then select which piece they love the most.

When you deal with a more unknown jeweler, you can take a peek at pictures of other pieces of jewelry they have crafted for customer. They may even have a selection of jewelry to choose from that is already handcrafted, however, you also will have the choice of putting your two cents in before your custom piece is made.

So, the next time you are thinking about purchasing a new piece of jewelry, you may want to think about taking the more customized/stunning route than the generic, boring, well-known jeweler whose jewelry is rarely unique.
