1. Understanding How To Find Handmade Jewelry - Tips
Exposed
It is pretty common to spend all day looking and hopefully finding the handmade jewelry you want,
and only be met with frustration. There are many times when that happens no matter what you are
looking for. Jewelry is often different because it is often more personal for people. And so you want
to locate the exact piece that you envision in your mind's eye. If you've run out of ideas about how to
track down handmade jewelry, here are some things you might want to try.
If you want to buy and sell homemade
things, Etsy.com is the best site for this.
It's easy to find a giant selection of
jewelry that has been handmade by
regular folks. Having been around for a
long time is part of what makes people
like Etsy.com. So it has a built in trust
factor. Don't ever forget, though, that
you're still buying from another person.
There are many thousands of flea markets across the US where you can find just about anything.
These small and informal markets are where ordinary citizens put up a stand to sell things. You'll
more than likely come across all sorts of handmade jewelry at these types of events. You'll never
know what you'll find at a flea market until you go. What is sold is sometimes not general, but very
specific as to what is sold. Local papers are usually filled with advertisements for flea markets. The
summer months are usually when they are done.
Craft fairs are fantastic places to find and to purchase handmade jewelry. These are vastly different
from open air flea markets. People who are fanatic about crafts will often travel around in their
region--sometimes even as far as a few states away from where they live. Typically what happens is
that there are places like malls that regularly schedule craft fairs. At most of these events the mall

don't normally see. More often than not these fairs will have a bunch of vendors selling handmade
jewelry.
You may be thinking that these three suggestions are all there is to finding great handmade jewelry.
And if this is the case then you are mistaken because there are all sorts of ways for you to find these
kinds of pieces. Many times you'll be able to find something just by using a little bit of creativity. For
the most part, people kind of enjoy the thrill of chasing down that one perfect piece. Try to be
patient though because it doesn't always happen right away. Keeping your search boundaries wide is
the key to success here.
This means that you have to perform your due diligence no matter from whom or where you are
buying. You should already know that shopping in a local store does not necessarily guarantee a
good experience. But still, Etsy is really popular and millions of people have used it for shopping
over the years.
