Heraldic Handmade Jewellery is jewelry which has been assembled and formed by hand rather than through the use of machines. According to the guidelines of the FTC, in order to be stamped or called "handmade" the work must be made solely by hand power or hand guidance In essence, this means that Heraldic Handmade Jewellery may be made using drills, lathes, and other machinery, but it must be guided by human hand. This precludes the use of punch presses and CNC machinery, to name a few processes that would not qualify as "handmade". Beyond that caveat it can be anything made out of anything that would be considered jewelry. The American Gem Trade Association Spectrum awards, the Gem Center Idar Oberstein, and the De Beers Awards include awards specifically for handmade jewelry. Although there is much mass produced jewelry in the world, there are many people who prefer to have work that is hand-crafted by a real artisan, and the arena of hand made jewelry and other items will likely remain healthy because of that fact. Much jewelry that is marked or sold as "hand made" often is not truly so, though it may be essentially so.



Heraldic Handmade Jewellery you can find, in a range of mixed materials, using everything from silver and gold, through to stainless steel, aluminum or wood: juxtaposing the contrast between a materials weight, texture and impact, creating contemporary jeweler wearable art.
