handmade jewelry, coin necklaceI love to shop online for all things.  I have found that shopping on the internet is a great way to find and buy handmade jewelry.  It can't really be found at the local retail store, so online is the best bet.  There is so much handmade jewelry online, it astounds me!  I enjoy taking an afternoon, curled up on the couch with a nice cup of tea, to shop on the internet for jewelry that is handmade.  Just browsing is a lot of fun, and when I'm planning to buy some, that's even more fun!  At Christmas I like to give the gift of handcrafted jewelry, so I hop onto my computer and start shopping in October to give myself time to find the best gifts.  My friends love it when I give them a stunning piece of jewelry that was made by hand!   Handmade jewelry is affordable, costing the same or even less than machine made commercial jewelry.  One of my friends is a big coin collector, so I find coin necklaces or other coin jewelry because I know she'd be impressed by it.
