How the Indie Designer fits in the Jewelry Fashion Scene

The "Indie", or Independent Jewelry Designers are creating the latest look in fashion, many times actually leading the field of fashion.  When you buy from an Indie Designer, you can learn a bit about the artist, where your jewelry has come from, and perhaps how it was created or what inspired your piece.  All in all, a very personal experience.

Here I will give you a look at High End Designer Jewelry, and the more specialized Indie Designed Jewelry...and the choice is Yours!

 "How to Wear Silver Jewlery"....a fashion feature from "O" Magazine;

                   Add Elegance to Every Outfit with Silver Jewelry

"Innovative designs are making silver pieces more luxurious than ever."—O's Creative Director             Adam Glassman

A wonderful collection of Designer Silver Jewelry (but out of reach price-wise for most of us mere mortals)



Now let's have a look at the skill and creativeness that the Indie Designers have to offer;

                                  First, From Greece;

                 A wonderful, Ethnic, hammered Sterling Silver Necklace

Indie Designers bring you up to date fashion, excellent craftmanship, and a personal shopping experience which the large fashion designers cannot.  

 Have you shopped with an Indie Designer?  How was your experience?  What do YOU look for in an independent designer?
