One or Few of a Kind

Like almost everything manufactured - styles, shapes, availability and pricing change over time. This is true of jewelry materials, unless you are making every part of the jewelry design independently.

Many Pearls, for example, are simply unique and larger semi-precious stones are often different sizes after they are cut.

Silver chain designs change with fashion.

So, scarcity for my design materials – often just one or a handful -  translates to more handcrafted Luxury Basics pieces being truly yours only.
