Hummingbird Jewelry Enjoy Wearing Handmade Jewelry with Meaning

Hummingbird Bracelets, Handmade Bracelets, Unique Handcrafted Jewelry in Hummingbird themes

According to Native legends, the hummingbird is the joyful messenger and healer. When the hummingbird appears in a time of great sorrow and pain, healing will soon follow. It is said that when a hummingbird hovers near, you will receive a message of healing. Wearing hummingbird jewelry will make you feel happy and peaceful. Many people will compliment you on your handmade jewelry so here is a story about why the hummingbird holds a special place in our hearts.

A literal messenger of joy, this beautiful tiny bird, also called Sah Sen, represents friendship, playfulness, and is a symbol of good luck in Northwest Coastal Native art. It is a positive sign to see Sah Sen prior to a major event such as hunting or traveling to another village. Hummingbird’s ability to hover back and forth at great speeds is believed to be a skill for guiding the people; if they fall behind Hummingbird can easily back up to keep pace.

One story of Hummingbird tells of a warm, spring day. Summer was coming and the wild flowers were in full blossom. A young girl and her mother waded through the green grass, enjoying the bright colors. They stopped as Hummingbird joined them; buzzing and darting from flower to flower.

The little creature fascinated the child. She asked, “Why does such a tiny bird want to fly so fast? Why doesn’t it just stay at one flower instead of visiting every one?” Her mother sat down on a hill overlooking the field and said, “Let me tell you the story of Hummingbird.”

Many years ago there was a fragrant flower that rose every spring to display her beautiful petals and bright colors for all the world’s creatures to enjoy. The people and animals waited anxiously each spring for this special flower to appear. On that day they knew the warm, kind rays of summer had arrived. Raven saw how much joy this flower brought to the world, so the next spring when it appeared, he transformed it into a tiny bird. The bird had the colors of the green spring grass and the flashing red of a setting sun. Raven gave the bird a special gift to fly like sunlight flickering through tall trees. He also gave it a message to take to all the flowers. That’s why today we see Hummingbird buzzing from flower to flower, whispering a message. Hummingbird is thanking each flower for making our world a more beautiful place.

The mother looked at her child and said, “As you grow up, remember that like each flower, each person has gifts to give the world. In return that person will be thanked by the birds, animals and flowers for helping to make our world a better place for every one.”

The above story is as told by Robert James Challenger in the book Eagle’s Reflections and other Northwest Coast Stories available at Hill’s Native Art in Tofino, British Columbia. They have been our valued customers for many years and carry a wide selection of our work including our hummingbird jewelry and Native American jewelry.

Copper is beautiful color of metal that has been known to humans since the beginning of history. Many copper ornaments, coins and copper jewelry have been discovered during the excavations of the ancient cities. Being a soft metal and taking an easy shape made copper more versatile for making kitchen ware as well. We always admire the fascinating copper bowls, vases and jars in museums that were found in historical places from over 2,000 years ago. Because copper keeps water cold it was made into water jars and it was great a metal to cook in so many pots were discovered. Copper has been always one of the most functional metals.

Copper has been celebrated as a precious metal for centuries. Copper has often been used for its beauty and luster to create ornaments, handmade earrings, handmade bracelets, necklaces, rings, other handmade jewelry and unique gifts. Most people like the warm glow of copper for their unique jewelry and handcrafted jewelry pieces as copper’s beautiful earthy tone also gives a soothing and comforting effect.

Copper also made a great metal for making handmade jewelry and handcrafted unique jewelry by hammering, bending and giving different textures. Copper is the base metal for most of the elegant enamel and cloisonne jewelry that has been made for centuries.

Copper jewelry gained more importance as jewelry once the health benefits were discovered. Handmade bracelets, handmade rings, handmade earrings became more available and sought after. Copper absorbs the negative ions from the body and relieves the pains that arthritis and rheumatism cause. Some copper jewelry is also available with magnets to help relieve the pain more.

There is also another way of making copper jewelry that is very fascinating. This unique handmade jewelry was originated from an old Turkish art that goes back centuries. Handmade jewelry pieces are individually handcrafted in a process of many different steps in order to achieve very special unique jewelry. Animal jewelry, wildlife jewelry and Native American jewelry designs are drawn by hand and transferred onto copper. These unique horse jewelry, dolphin jewelry, hummingbird jewelry and dragonfly jewelry designs are then silver plated. To give a contrast between silver and copper, black color is used in between to separate these two parts of metal color. To highlight all these exceptional unique jewelry pieces, parts of the cat jewelry, wolf jewelry and nature jewelry is diamond cut. Diamond cut is done by hand and requires highly skilled craftsmanship that can only be obtained by years of training.

So where do you start? The first thing you will need to do is take great pictures of your handcrafted jewelry. “A picture is worth a thousand words” or not. Make sure the photos are in focus clearly showing your design, with small pieces like handmade earrings and bracelets this is very important. Don’t put jewelry on a rock or a hunk of wood, although it is very natural and artsy, it is too hard for people to make out in the seconds you have to catch their attention online. Your handmade jewelry should be on a plain background so it stands out clearly.

Now you need a website, if you’re just starting there are lots of free blogs out there. I prefer the WordPress.com, mostly because it’s easy and has lots of plug-ins to do all the SEO work for you. Blogger is also a great platform, easy to set up your template with lots of widgets and other cool stuff. There are so many free blogs check around for the best match for you. Once you are up and running you can invest more into the site but we are trying to save some money and do it all for free, for now.

Read, read and read more; you can never have too much information. The web is filled with great information; every time you see something new do a search until you understand what it means. SEO is the most important part of getting good search engine rankings. Make sure to have meta title, description and keywords tags. Don’t forget image alt attributes as well. Do your keyword research and write it into your content. WordPress has lots of plugins that take the guesswork out of SEO.

Off-site SEO factors means links to your site. This is probably the hardest and most time consuming because you need to get related sites to link to you. Make sure your site is ready and has good content that other sites will want to link to. Stick with it and bit by bit links will come. Check other related sites link pages to get more links. Make sure you have your target keywords hyper-linked in your link information.

Do all these things then continually read and update your site as you go; this is a continuing process always needing to be tweaked. Check your statistics to see what is working and what isn’t. Change the things that aren’t working.

To get noticed you will need to join and participate in social networking sites, submit articles, write press releases and get listed in as many related directories as possible.

Time is also an important factor. Everything takes time so try not to get frustrated when things don’t happen overnight. Patience is a necessary virtue in wholesale handmade jewelry and online marketing.

If you make handmade jewelry or have a retail store that sells handcrafted artisan jewelry you need to be online! With millions of handmade jewelry websites how do you get your product seen online? It’s not going to be easy and it takes a lot of hard work, not to mention time. If you pay someone to get you to the first page it’s going to cost you. If you do it yourself it will take time, effort and a lot of reading, but it will be worth it and its kind of fun. Even though the competition is fierce, there is still room at the top if you want to play the online marketing game. Good luck to you in all your online marketing efforts!
