There’s always something distinctive about handmade jewellery. No matter how modernised we are, it is still important to support the artisan crafts.
Despite the solidity, they are unique expressions of one’s own creativity. These good artistic designs, however, are less appreciated by our community because of their price value.
The urban part of us should accept the creative spirit of these small businesses especially during festive seasons like Deepavali and hence, support local jewellery makers.
We have listed a few handcrafted jewellery outlets you can head to purchase some beautiful jewels:
RY & RI Accessories
It’s a slow-made, polymer clay earring brand, with every pair individually designed, created and detailed by hand. Every pair has undergone a long process of sanding and buffing until it is completed. Their Deepavali offer is as low as RM10 per pair of earrings.

These lists are only a fraction of many other handcrafted businesses which operate on Instagram. Just type ‘Handmade Jewellery’ on Instagram and you’re going to be bombarded with so many of them, you would be lost for choices.
Let us all do our part in supporting local small businesses as well. Deepavali is not just about happiness, it’s indefinitely about bringing light to someone else’s life, too. Purchasing our favourite jewellery here will not just beautify us, it will also help bring joy to someone else’s face, mostly towards businesses that have endured so much during this pandemic.
And the secret to happiness is To Bring Happiness to others.
Happy Deepavali everybody!
