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.
