We may seem selective, but the world of jewelry is considered handmade very far from handmade. It is more accurate to define a craft as “hand finishing”. (It’s just that “creating” sounds better than “finishing” marketing.)

Larger jewelry stores and online retailers almost always offer only handmade jewellery. The common denominator is that a metal part of a piece can fall or be hit hard (dead impact).

As you can imagine, manual production is a slow and relatively expensive method of production. Casting and pressing is faster, cheaper and less cumbersome. (This is important if you are in business.)
Using casting or forces as a production method also means that you can also copy the graph or many times if you want. Shortened the value of negotiations with each piece forward.

Manufacturers can also produce their jewelry (what is important) machinery operators – even experienced people. Prevents the need for more experienced and precious blacksmiths.

Cast jewelry is relatively fragile and lacks strength compared to handmade jewelry.

The manual process (including rolling, beating and tempering) flattens and stores the molecular structure of the metal. This makes it thicker, stronger and more durable.

Non-produced cast metal has a more open crystal structure, thanks to which the molecules are further apart. It leaves less close and easier to wear and break. Airfang (presence of air bubbles) can also be a problem with alawciery casting, leading to the upper surface and low power.

The pressed machine is stronger than the cast
Press (if the deceased manufacturing methods are so limited to their dictionary cycles. This is used to make unusual jewelry, you can not always find it. The ring engine plug. However, the process produces a lot of strong jewelry (which is usually terminated).

Why do Focus refuse jewelry?
From time to time you can find a fisherman who wins everything or the jewelry they do.

Jewelry often made it for reasons. Casting allows the production of complex and complicated forms that cannot be done by hand. Likewise, the method enables fast, efficient and low-risk design development. That’s why some jewelry manufacturers prefer it.

And what about ethics?
If the jewelry is handmade here in Australia, you can be sure that the manufacturing process is without human rights violations and so on. We cannot say the behavior of metals and precious stones used in other jewelry. If things like criminal corruption, human trafficking, home destruction, heavy metal pollution, labor exploitation and child labor are holding you back (as they should), find a jewelry supplier who will provide you with evidence of ethical raw materials.
When it comes to “handmade” jewelry, you need to be very careful where the jewelry is made.

Jewelry made in our country, Europe or the United States is probably ethically sound (if the raw materials are of the right origin). However, look carefully at jewelry made or collected in developing countries.

Exploitation of workers in the jewelry industry is common and child labor in particular remains a major problem. (According to their consistency, small fingers and sweet sights are often used for collecting jewelry.)
