    Why Handmade Jewelry?

    Why Handmade Jewelry?

    For thousands of years, jewelry has been a form of self-expression, granting wearers the opportunity to enhance their ensembles and lift their spirits. However, in today’s industry, jewelry pieces don’t have the same impact.

     This statement couldn’t be more accurate for handmade jewelry vs. mass-produced jewelry. Handmade jewelry exceeds the latter in every way (design, craftsmanship, exclusivity), making handcrafted pieces a must-have in every jewelry collection. So, continue reading to learn more about the benefits of handmade jewelry and supporting talented artisans.

     One-of-a-Kind Jewelry

     Jewelry-making is an art, and artisans are dedicated to honoring that sentiment. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, which results in everyone having identical pieces, handmade jewelry grants you access to truly unique and meaningful designs you can't find anywhere else. With handmade jewelry, the sky is the limit.

     More Ethical & Sustainable

     Unfortunately, we're living in a time where instant gratification and rapid trends put the planet and people in jeopardy as manufacturers attempt to meet unreasonable demands and accumulate the most money.

     Mass-produced jewelry involves harsh conditions that compromise the safety of factory workers who earn meager wages. Additionally, many of these pieces are made as a result of excessive mining, which often infringes on human rights and environmental safety measures.

     Handmade jewelers express sincere concern for conserving resources and opt for the highest quality materials to extend longevity and durability, reducing a significant amount of waste.

     Superior Quality & Craftsmanship

     Manufacturers that mass-produce jewelry are notorious for cutting corners to save costs and quickly increase inventory. As a result, their quality inevitably suffers.

     On the other hand, handmade jewelry displays outstanding craftsmanship. Artisans take pride in their work and strive to create pieces that reflect integrity and passion for the craft, allowing their pieces to speak for themselves.

     Conclusion:

     Once you understand the difference between handmade jewelry and mass-produced jewelry, you'll easily distinguish the two, enabling you to build a lovely collection with ease. At Omani, we pride ourselves in our extensive collection of handcrafted, heirloom-worthy Israeli pieces that you'll want to treasure forever.

    Sterling Silver Care: How to Properly Care For & Maintain Sterling Silver Jewelry

    Sterling Silver Care: How to Properly Care For & Maintain Sterling Silver Jewelry

    Sterling silver is a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection. It’s timeless, elegant, and, with proper care, long-lasting. From sterling silver earrings and necklaces to rings and bracelets, there are fewer things more precious than a beautiful piece of sterling silver jewelry. 

    However, proper care is critical to maintaining the condition of your sterling silver pieces. So, continue reading for must-know tips on properly caring for and maintaining the appearance and durability of your sterling silver jewelry.


    Be Mindful of Storing Sterling Silver

    After a long day, it may be tempting to remove your sterling silver jewelry and leave them on the bathroom counter; however, if you’re serious about protecting their condition from tarnish, opt for a safe, dry environment. It’s best to store your sterling silver in a small bag or pouch to prevent discoloration.


    Avoid Moisture & Chemicals

    Sterling silver is susceptible to tarnishing when exposed to water, sweat, and harsh chemicals commonly found in lotions and body soap. To mitigate the amount of tarnish on your favorite pieces, remove your sterling silver jewelry if you plan to do any of the following:

    • Shower 
    • Exercise
    • Cook or wash dishes
    • Apply lotion or perfume
    • Swim

    Regularly Clean Sterling Silver

    Cleaning sterling silver is paramount to protecting its durability and appearance. Fortunately, you can do it from home with a few simple steps. 

    Polishing is an excellent way to reduce tarnishing or discoloration. Apply jewelry cleaner to a soft cloth and very gently wipe it over your jewelry pieces (avoid rubbing too vigorously, as doing so may cause the silver to scratch). Next, run your jewelry under warm water and blot it dry with the same polishing cloth. Regularly cleaning your sterling silver will leave your pieces smooth and shiny, restoring them to their original condition.


    Conclusion

    Sterling silver jewelry is undeniably a standout in any collection; however, they require regular upkeep to maintain a timeless appearance. Remember to be mindful of how you store, clean, and wear your sterling silver jewelry. If you do, you can trust that your pieces will remain beautiful and sparkling each time you adorn them.
