Beads - The Best Choice for Handmade Jewelry

By Ben Johnson

Handmade jewelry began over three decades ago when beads are stringed together to form bracelets, earrings or even necklaces. As its popularity grows, the mass demand drives the market where jewelry becomes the mass market for production to meet the growing demand of women, men all alike. Jewelry is no longer just another piece of accessories you add to your style. It has become so individualized that it speaks of your personality, of your story and surely of your self confidence. While the market may have capitalized to be a big industry of its own, many seem to have reverted the trends. Now, it is back to the basics where people like to be the only few who own that very piece of jewelry or if possible the only one in the world to wear that piece of jewelry. It is no longer the "commercial" value that jewelry holds to make it precious. It is instead the uniqueness, the rareness that people are crazy about.
