1 Man’s Handmade Jewelry Origin & FYI

1 MAN’S HANDMADE JEWELRY’S ORIGIN

One day, I was bored so I started doing one of my favorite hobbies, jewelry making. I was trying to think of something new, something that was all natural, and more than anything else, something that required myself to take all these natural products and put them together and hold themselves together by and through the use of other natural products.

First, before I had even came up with the name ‘1 Man’s Handmade Jewelry’ and even had the idea of selling something I had done as a hobby, hadn’t even entered my mind. It all started a while ago, in 2010, that is the whole idea of how much I liked using hemp and agate in jewelry making, particularly in making hemp necklaces—once completed, it was a beautiful shiny piece of Agate in the center of braided hemp. I did (and still do...with many different stones & different types of cords & chains etc.) all the work by hand: agate (many different stones) drilled and placed on hemp to make necklaces.

Odd enough, I was watching a favorite British comedy, Ab Fab, and I saw ‘Eddy’/Jennifer Saunders wearing an Agate necklace. That’s when I started to think more in the mind set of business—as Ab Fab is a comedy about Edina’s PR business... First, I started by putting a page on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/pg/1manshandmadejewelry/about/. Then, one thought led to the next thought, and the next thing I was doing was ordering business cards, with 1 Man’s Handmade Jewelry with all my contact information on them. After a while (and many compliments) I had learned about Etsy (a site for people, such as myself, to post their arts & crafts to make money); in which I put most all of my products up for sale there at: www.1manshandmadejewelry.etsy.com in 2014. However, I had never received an order, until this year, 2018–which took me to give my site more attention.

Thus, the inspiration from the "across the pond" comedy ‘Ab Fab’ led to what I once upon a time turned to as a hobby—became: sales, goals, great presents/gifts; and, even sometimes when someone has a frown I've used my jewelry to turn their frowns to smiles, stretched from ear-to-ear.

KEEPING MY PRODUCT LINE ALMOST 100% AUTHENTIC & ALL NATURAL

It has been challenging at times to keep my product line almost 100% all natural and authentic. Well, I was able to accomplish this for the most part; however, there are some products that I use non-natural products, e.g., glue—if I didn’t use the glue, it would be likely that the piece wouldn’t be credible and not meant for retail. Thus, I try my hardest to keep everything as natural and authentic as possible; however, when it’s apparently obvious that I need to use, for example, an adhesive in making a pair of earrings, then I will turn to the use of non-natural products. In making a shoulder/messenger style bag, for example, everything used in making this product is 100% all natural materials. In stead of using “snaps” to keep the messenger bag closed—I make an incision in the top flap, and on the other part of the bag I attached a rock-stone, gemstone, mineral, shark’s tooth, etc. to be used for the bag’s closure. I eventually decided to bring the past back; except this time, I would do all the work by hand and of course, this idea was mine, a new idea--agate drilled and placed on hemp to make necklaces.

In recent days I’ve expanded to more than just necklaces made out of agate and hemp. Now I work with almost every rock, stone, mineral and gemstones available! In addition I use many different mediums in creating jewelry and accessories. I also am always trying to make sure that I keep everything I make unisex, thus anything I make is compatible for both men and women as well as children.
