Unique handmade jewellery



Since 2001, Jewels By Jules has designed and created unique handcrafted jewelry with our specialty being wire wrapped jewelry. Woven wire bracelets are quickly becoming very popular along with my woven wire rings. Leather cord necklaces along with my #1 selling leather cord bracelets are also available. Browse our website or when in Tucson, call Jodi for an appointment to try on your favorite wire wrapped jewelry. Many of our pieces are one-of-a-kind, giving you unique handcrafted jewelry to enjoy for a lifetime at very affordable prices.

Handmade jewelry is jewelry which has been assembled and formed by hand rather than through the use of machines. According to the guidelines of the FTC, in order to be stamped or called "handmade" the work must be made solely by hand power or hand guidance. In essence, this means that jewelry may be made using drills, lathes, or other machinery, but it must be guided by human hand. This precludes the use of punch presses, CNC machinery and casting to name a few processes that would not qualify as "handmade". Beyond that caveat it can be anything made out of anything that would be considered jewelry.
Jewellery has been used to denote status. In ancient Rome, for instance, only certain ranks could wear rings, Later, sumptuary laws dictated who could wear what type of jewellery; again based on rank. Cultural dictates have also played a significant role; for example, the wearing of earrings by Western men was considered "effeminate" in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
