How Handcrafted Wedding Jewellery Can Give You a Vintage Big-Day Look


 
Vintage inspired weddings are all the rage at the moment. To be truly retro, you should, of course, scout out vintage and classic pieces of jewellery from your local thrift or antique store. However, our budgets don’t always stretch to true vintage jewellery, and that’s where handcrafted jewellery steps in to help.
 

Fancy something Art Deco inspired? Or need the vintage pearl look on a modern wedding budget? Why not ask your local jeweller about bespoke jewellery tailored exactly to your big day requirements? You’ll have all of the style of vintage and a one-off wedding piece, too!
 

Vintage inspired handcrafted wedding jewellery – with no added expense

You’ll be surprised at how easy it is for your jeweller to create bespoke jewellery for your wedding day. Talk to your jeweller about the type of look you’re aiming for, and they will be able create a piece of handcrafted jewellery to suit your style or perhaps recreate a piece on a lower budget that you’ve seen but can’t afford.

 
Similarly, if you’re a gentleman looking to propose and you know that your fiancée-to-be likes the vintage look, then why not ask your jeweller to create a ring in the style you’re looking for? Bespoke jewellery is often a fraction of the price of antique jewellery, yet it gives the wearer a unique, one-of-a-kind piece to treasure forever.
 

Tailor-make handcrafted jewellery to complement your wedding look 

Of course, the main beauty of handcrafted wedding jewellery is the fact that it can be made to your exact requirements. Vintage jewellery is often soft, whimsical and feminine, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t add a contemporary twist if this will suit your overall style better. 

Alternatively, your piece could highlight your big day style. Perhaps your dress has lots of pearl or crystal detailing? If that’s the case, your bespoke jewellery could incorporate these precious materials. Or does your dress have flower or bow motifs? If so, why not have a piece made incorporating this into the design?

Handcrafted jewellery - that you Don’t Have to Make Yourself!



There has been a huge trend of late towards handcrafted jewellery. If you’re creative and crafty, then this is no problem; however, if you’re not so good at crafts and are fresh out of handmade jewellery ideas, then what to do?
 
There is a solution: when it comes to handmade jewellery, Ilford residents are finding that a trip to their local jewellers is the way forward; local jewellery shops offer services for creating one of a kind, bespoke jewellery pieces, so you can achieve the exact look you’re after.
 
Handmade jewellery ideas
 
Half of the fun of the creative process is coming up with the ideas and design behind your piece. However, if you’re not sure what you’re after, or your handmade jewellery ideas are not quite fully formed, then you might be looking for a helping hand.

Pop along to your local jewellery shop; by talking through your handmade jewellery ideas with a jeweller, or even just telling them the sort of look and feel you’re after, you can work together to achieve the perfect piece of handcrafted jewellery.

Why use a local jeweller for handcrafted jewellery?

There are plenty of reasons for using a local jeweller for handmade jewellery; Ilford-based local jewellers like EK Jewellers will have that added level of service which you may not find at a high-street chain.  All pieces will be handcrafted on site, including restoration or remodelling of existing pieces, so you know that your masterpiece is in safe hands.

What’s more, a local jeweller will have the time available to not only work on creating the perfect design and bringing it to life, but also finding out what makes you tick so that the end piece of handcrafted jewellery is exactly as you imagined it to be.

Don’t forget that new pieces of handcrafted jewellery can be created from old!

Handcrafted jewellery doesn’t have to be created from scratch; if you’ve got an heirloom piece languishing in a drawer, or perhaps a favourite piece which is no longer à la mode, why not ask your local jeweller to bring it back to life?

New pieces of handcrafted jewellery can be remodelled from old, so if you’ve got a family brooch which you won’t wear in its current format, perhaps have it made into a pendant, or take the stones from various rings and make one special ring. When it comes to handmade jewellery, Ilford based EK jewellers can work wonders!
