Hand made or vintage thrifted!
I buy jewelry almost exclusively from Etsy sellers, favouring Cole's Beads and Baubles whose necklaces are heirloom quality (You have to get one in your hands to see and feel to appreciate how stunningly well made, durable and precious they are) and Little Love Letter Arts (I'm a natural stone and Swarovski crystal star junkie) if I buy out new.
I also like thrifted vintage. If I can't find what I desire, I make it myself.
