Finding razzle-dazzle jewelry online
By Rachelle
Our friend Rachelle recently purchased fabulous earrings, so we asked her to be our first guest blogger on Shiny Orb.
Editor's disclosure: Shiny Orb, a shopping site for inexpensive bridesmaid dresses, receives no form of compensation from Etsy or the Etsy vendor mentioned.
I had a particular idea in mind for my wedding day earrings: simple, elegant teardrop pearls. It was a simple wish, and one I thought would be easily fulfilled. Unfortunately, even after searching high and low through department stores and boutique shops alike, I couldn’t find the right pair. Other brides recommended Etsy.com, so I decided to turn to the Internet and give the site a go. Etsy connects buyers from all over the world with craftsmen selling their handmade wares, from jewelry and clothing to digital stationery files you can print from home.
There were thousands of pages to search through, but once I got the hang of narrowing down my search to the right criteria, the fun began. I eventually found my perfect pair of bridal earrings from Etsy seller tztudio. I was very pleased with both the transaction and the final product that arrived on my doorstep a few days later.
Handcrafted jewelry seems more personal and unique than mass-produced jewelry, and it’s nice to be able to interact directly with the people who create the products you buy. You can send sellers messages to request a change to a product like the color or the materials used. You can even post a bid on Etsy’s Alchemy page for a fully customized product.
I’ve been shopping regularly on Etsy since the purchase of my earrings. It’s a good place to shop for the discerning bride who knows what she wants and can’t find it elsewhere.
