Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. "It's everywhere you want to be!" A Look into the Heart of My Business!

8/9/2016

​This is the first blog of two that will overview my business philosophy. If you’ve been to my website, you will already know that I create and sell handcrafted jewelry. This is just the basic frame of my business. Like any other business, I create a product, market it, and sell it to the consumer. What makes Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. unique, is the soul of my business. It goes far beyond creating, marketing, and selling a product. Below, I have outlined three important things that I would love for you to know about who Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. is! ​
  • Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. is not just jewelry! It is Inspirational wearable art, handcrafted by me, with love and passion. Not just for art, but for people too!  I often use the picture of the hand (seen in the header image) as a display or as an image on my website. It symbolizes more than just a jewelry display. Every day we use our hands to accomplish task after task without giving them a thought. Using this hand as a prop for my bracelets reminds me to be thoughtful as I go about my day, and to always reach out and give back as a helping hand to someone in need. It could be something as simple as a kind word, a smile, or a thank you.
  • On the bottom of my bags, I write Phil. 4:13. Philippians 4:13 is a Bible verse that says: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This is my belief, that whether things are great or not, I have to keep moving forward and not looking back, regardless of what I may be facing.
  • My catchphrase for Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. is, “It’s everywhere you want to be!” Handcrafted Jewelry by Teri C. is inspiration, kindness, and creativity. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by that!
 As you wear my jewelry, remember my catchphrase, “It’s everywhere you want to be!” I challenge you to live it out by being inspirational, kind, and creative in ways that will make a difference in the lives of those around you. You aren’t wearing just any piece of jewelry. You are wearing a beautiful reminder to keep going when it gets tough, to be a helping hand to those around you, and to be the change in the world that you want to see. You are wearing Inspirational wearable art, handcrafted by me with love and passion.

Five Simple Guidelines For Preventing Damage To Your Handcrafted Jewelry

8/1/2016

Comments

 
Picture
Remembering to give a bit of TLC to your handcrafted jewelry will go a long way in keeping your treasured pieces beautiful and bright. The first thing to keep in mind is that handcrafted jewelry should be worn and stored with care. Exposure to chemicals and abrasive environments can cause permanent damage such as oxidation and scratching. To the left are five simple preventative guidelines. (Click on image to enlarge)

 To keep your jewelry clean, a bit of mild liquid detergent added to warm water creates a gentle cleaning solution versatile enough to clean and care for the majority of handcrafted jewelry made with silver, glass beads, crystal beads, and semi-precious stones. If cleaned regularly, a damp microfiber cloth will do the job effectively, often without requiring a cleaning solution at all. It should be noted that pearls should ONLY be cleaned with warm water and a soft cloth. Be sure to gently pat your jewelry dry, once clean.
​
Following these guidelines will keep your jewelry looking shiny and new so that you can enjoy the fine craftsmanship and beauty of your wearable art every time you put it on.
