What is Handcraft and Artisan Jewelry?

Handcraft and artisan jewelry gives the alternative to many people, who despite using jewelry in their set of accessories, always look for something different, that is where it takes center stage.

It is known by this name, due to the fact that no industrial machine is included in its elaboration, but rather they are made entirely by hand by their creators, aptly named artists.
More and more women opt for artisan jewelry, when choosing the accessories that will accompany their clothing, mainly because each piece is unique and unrepeatable.
This term refers to the making of accessories such as earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, chokers, pendants, among others; all of these with different colors, textures, seeds, metals, glass, mother-of-pearl, seashells, pearls, threads, fibers, wood and/or leather.
Artists generally take predominant elements of their culture, traditional materials or not; this, in the search for a successful combination, which results in a unique piece with an incomparable plus.
Traditionally the term jewel has been synonymous with status within society, being used for it in different times and by different civilizations.
Starting from prehistory, the middle ages, the renaissance era and even in this modern era, different peoples including the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans are a good example in the use of it.
For their part, the Mayans used jewelry to highlight power and rank, differentiating the wealthy classes by the jewelry they wore, with jade necklaces as the most common jewelry, their most valued stone.
In ancient Rome, handcrafted jewelry was diverse, especially among the tribes, brooches were the most used as functional jewelry, to ensure the placement of clothing.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
