When shopping for jewelry in the Philippines, choosing between a handmade and a mass-produced piece is one of the first decisions you will have to make. For many, going for a mass-produced item is often the easiest choice. But, don’t be too quick in deciding.
At GoldandStones, we want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your money. Here are some things you need to consider when choosing between handcrafted and mass-produced jewelry pieces.
Quality
You simply coulnd’t compare the care and attention to detail given to mass-produced items and handcrafted pieces. In addition, the materials used for mass produced pieces may not be at par with the materials used for handcrafted ones. This means the precious metal used may not be as good as you hope it would be. Most importantly, the gemstones may not have the best cut, color, and clarity.
Handcrafted jewelry from GoldandStones, on the otherhand, are made with high-quality materials and gemstones are sourced through trusted providers across the globe. In addition, our jewelry pieces are created by artisans with years of experience. Mass-produced items don’t come close to the elegance and sophistication of our handmade pieces. As proof of trust and quality, we provide a certificate of authenticity for each piece that you buy from us.
Originality
You will be hard-pressed finding mass-produced jewelry that features a distinct design. It’s because most of the styles are usually based on trends. If you’re looking for something unique, you’re better off buying a handcrafted piece. You can also choose to have custom made jewelry to add more character or personality to your piece.
Cost
Mass-produced jewelry are more affordable than handcrafted ones, which make a lot of sense if you consider the quality, style, time, and effort put into making these items.
Sure, quality and originality often come with a price but it doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune to own a piece of high-quality handcrafted jewelry. GoldandStones has a huge jewelry collection for all types of budget. You’re sure to find one that isn’t just easy on the pocket but also meets your preferences.

I had no idea that a handcrafted piece of jewelry means that you have control over how it looks, along with the materials that go with it. I should suggest this to my friend who’s looking for a unique gift for my friend. This way, he can give him a uniquely designed earring as a gift!
