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 Federal Trade Commission, in order to be stamped or called "''handmade''" the work must be made solely by hand power or hand guidance.〔Authority: Sec. 6, 5, 38 Stat. 721, 719; 15 U.S.C. 46, 45. Source: 61 FR 27212, May 30, 1996, unless otherwise noted. 〕 This means that jewelry may be made using drills, lathes, or other machinery, but it must be guided by the human hand. This precludes the use of punch presses, CNC machinery, and casting, to name a few processes the use of which would make the jewelry not qualify as "handmade". Beyond that, handmade jewelry can be made out of any material and with a wide variety of techniques. The American Gem Trade Association Spectrum awards,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.agta.org/awards/index.html )〕 the Gem Center Idar Oberstein, and the De Beers Awards include awards for handmade jewelry. ==See also== * Art jewelry * Indie design * Jewellery cleaning * Lapidary clubs * Watchmaking 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Handmade jewelry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
