			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Handcrafted bracelets are a piece of jewelry that is something to cherish&#8211;and when I say handcrafted&#8211;I mean-strung, woven, or wired BY HAND. Sure you can be at Wal-Mart or the latest hip store that might be selling some beaded jewelry in the jewelry section&#8211;but most of that has been factory made&#8211;in a line of assembly. </p>
<p>A handcrafted bracelet is when an artisan personally picks out the beads and colors him/herself. And then decides on a design, stringing material, and what kind of impression this piece of jewelry should make. There really is alot that goes into the thought process. </p>
<p>I can tell you that I personally create all of my bracelets&#8230;. I take a whole evening, or even days to create a special piece. In my jewelry box&#8211;you can expect to see that not one design is exactly the same. I get so many compliments on my work that they ask me&#8211;where did you buy that?&#8230;. (of course the ones who know me well know that I have made it myself, and compliment me on my artwork)&#8211;but for those who don&#8217;t know me, they will just sigh in amazement that it seems almost impossible to create.. </p>
<p>So when I say a handcrafted bracelet is something to cherish&#8211;I truly mean it. There is so much work from the heart that goes into it-thats why its so hard for a true jewelry artisan to part with his/her jewelry&#8211;It becomes a part of us. </p>
<p>&#8211;The next time you receive a handcrafted bracelet or any other piece of jewelry&#8211;take it as a compliment. It means that you are special to that person and they wanted to find something original and unique to give you&#8230; </p>
<p>A handcrafted bracelet is&#8230;.something to cherish. </p>
