Star Wars Jewelry and the Milton Bradley Star Bird
Here’s a 1978 newspaper ad that combines two great things from the time: Kenner’s Star Wars action figures and Milton Bradley’s Star Bird, as well as Star Wars jewelry! I’m still not sure how that Star Wars jewelry was ever a thing in the late seventies, but I have seen enough on it — and can remember the ads from when I was a kid — to just nod my head and say: “Yes, that was a thing back then.” I’ll never pretend to understand I know why it was a thing, but it was and the jewelry made with special features or inspiration is the most bought, check this aquarius ring and other zodiac jewelry pieces
What is Handmade Jewelry?
Handmade jewelry is made by an artist without the use of mass-manufacturing machines. There is no standard “look” for handmade jewelry. It can range from simple hand-assembled pendants and bracelets to intricate designs that take hours or days and skilled techniques to finish. What they all have in common though is that a jewelry artist makes each individual piece using only their hands and simple tools.
Why Choose Handmade Jewelry?
When you choose to purchase a piece of handmade jewelry, you’re going to get a unique keepsake each time. There is almost always a little variation between each individual piece of the same style, due to the nature of handmaking anything. There may be slight imperfections – maybe a cut line isn’t 100% straight – but there is also much more character to a piece of handmade jewelry. There’s a story behind not only the design of the jewelry piece but the artist you’re buying from.
