Tips for Finding Handmade Jewelry

Video Transcript

"SUSAN BELLONE: Hi. I'm Susan Bellone on behalf of Expert Village. Today, we are going to learn how to build an earring wardrobe. If you want to look really unique with your jewelry wardrobe, a good way to find original designs is to go to the original artist who designed them. You can find these artists' earrings at craft fairs and specialty boutiques. Here, I have a few examples of what I've found through the years. Here are these little angel earrings and they're actually signed on the back by the artist. And then we have this little--it's made out of plastic but it's really a pretty design. Here are more natural earrings, and these are made out of shells and turquoise and I found these at an artist fair in New Mexico. And this little monster is a beast in the cage, he's made out of plastic, and he actually has a little poem on his back and he's been a lot of fun; I've gotten a lot of compliments on this one. And we cannot forget the pig art from the artist."
