Holiday Gift Guide: The Artisan Group Jewelry

The countdown to the holiday season has begun and the time for finding great gift ideas for friends and family is almost upon us. We begin the gifting season with a collection of jewelry gift ideas from The Artisan Group, an exclusive group that gives artisan makers of talented jewelry and accessories the opportunity to showcase their stunning, hand-crafted products, most of which has found homes with some of your favorite celebrities. We were very excited to highlight a few of these wonderful hand-crafted products that any jewelry lover will love as gifts. Whether you’re looking for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, or all the above, these designers are sure to have what you’re looking for plus you’ll be supporting small, artisan-owned businesses, and that’s always a good thing. Sometimes, small businesses may be priced a little higher than usual, but that is because they have to fund all of the equipment themselves, and they are trying to make a small profit too. For these jewelry makers, one of the best tools they have is a drill pressing metal tool that allows them to add holes into the pieces of metal for any chains that need to be added to the jewelry. The business owners need to make a profit to ensure they can keep growing their company.
