Unique handmade jewelry is a tremendous contrast to fine jewelry for four obvious reasons. First, the price tag is going to be much higher for fine jewelry since it is not only crafted by a jeweler, but the materials are much more expensive then the crystals or silver found at a craft store (such as Michaels or Joanne Fabrics) or handmade jewelry boutique.

Second, unique handmade jewelry can be so unique that it might only be appealing to a small pool of buyers. Fine jewelry, although not appreciated by all, tends to be fashioned after the public eye. In other words, there is not as much uniqueness to fine jewelry as there would be in a handmade jewelry piece since fine jewelry must appeal to the masses.

Third, fine jewelry has a much wider selection because there are many more stores that carry the jewelry as opposed to unique handmade jewelry. Fourth, most fine jewelry has long-term value that makes it more of an investment as opposed to a sentimental treasure such has unique handmade jewelry.

If you want to buy a really nice genuine diamond necklace, a place like Tiffany, Cartier, or Tacori are fine stores. However, you need to know that you better have your checkbook ready and your checkbook better be fat. On the other hand, if you choose to design your own unique handmade jewelry and use materials such as crystals, silver, and rubies, you might not get them for cheap, but it will be much less expensive than a two-cart diamond bracelet.
