As a jewelry designer myself, one of the things that I enjoy about making hand-crafted jewelry is that you can make one-of-a-kind pieces, or at the very least limited editions.

I remember a few years ago when I was actively selling my work in art shows. I happened to be standing in line at an office supply store when I noticed the woman in front of me was wearing a pair of my earrings. I knew they were mine because I hadn't seen the design any where else since making them, and I only a few dozen pairs. I don't doubt the woman also appreciated the fact that she would rarely, if ever, see anyone else with those same earrings.

This idea of "one-of-a-kind" is not lost on most jewelry sellers either, and one has taken it a step further in a new on-line boutique, Farfallina.net.

From a company press release: Farfallina.net (which is Italian for "little butterfly" and can also mean a woman fond of socialising, flitting from one party to the next) offers over 200 styles of exquisitely designed, handmade jewellery from contemporary designers all over the world. All the collections are limited edition, created from a dazzling range of the finest Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, rhodium, gold plate and sterling silver.

But if you want to own something that's guaranteed to be the only one in existence on earth, you really want to check out Farfallina'.net Unique line. Every item is made by hand using semi-precious stones, with just a single piece available of each - anywhere. So you never need to see somebody wearing the same thing ever again.
