Unique, Handmade Jewelry at the Asbury Park Holiday Bazaar
By Jenny Vickers
I love buying handmade jewelry. Some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are handcrafted. Each piece is so unique and one of a kind, I always feel special wearing them. But what I really love most is giving handmade jewelry to my friends and family because you are giving a gift you just simply can't buy anywhere - a gift that is not mass produced or made in a factory under unjust working conditions; something that someone poured their heart into and made with love. It's magical.
We are lucky to host some very talented jewelry makers at the Asbury Park Holiday Bazaar this weekend! You can find the vendors below this Saturday & Sunday, Dec 3rd & 4th, in the Grand Arcade of Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
