Handcrafted jewellery

[stormbush]

Hi, does anyone know the best place to buy handcrafted jewellery at a good price? I hate all the mass produced stuff in shops and craft fairs are not always on. Can anyone give me some good sites? Is Ebay worth a shot? Thanks

I'm really after a unique bag charm. Please can anyone give me a good web site?

I am not too sure about bag charms, but Pilgrim make excellent jewellery. They do not make one off pieces, but all their stuff is lovely. I have a few pieces, but as they are a tad pricey, it's birthdays and christmas' for me.

Did you know that you can buy all these beads and make up the charms yourself - you can get all the necessaries from sites like http://www.beadsdirect.co.uk/ - I can vouch for this site, I use them a lot !

Will check out all these sites, thanks. I have just seen this one on ebay looks perfect as I'm inot paganish sort of stuff. Does it look legit? Have heard stuff about ebay and am not sure.

There's a lovely lady who makes her own chunky wooden necklaces and sells them on ebay. Look out for suzies-lovelies when you're on there. She hasn't got any listed at the moment, but she's been bit busy..........:-) They're really good quality, and each one is unique- she never repeats designs x

Oh stormbush , I've just noticed your 2nd post- she doesn't make bag charms.....I don't think, tee hee x

eBay's a great site. I buy and sell things all the time there. Look for sellers with positive feed back. If you register, you can look at the community boards. There's loads of guys and girls on there giving brilliant advice. Loads of people selling individually made jewellery including charms.You can stay safe on eBay. As with other organizations like bans, they will never ask for your password in an unsolicited e-mail. For payments Paypal is brilliant and very safe - you register your card with them and then you can pay anybody, anywhere who has an e-mail address and a Paypal account. You can also pay sellers by cheque oe postal order - they tend to leave it up to you. Good luck
