CustomMade is an online matchmaker connecting people who want and make custom goods. Buyers come to CustomMade looking for jewelry and accessories - among many other custom creations - completely bespoke to individual style and need. We exist to empower individuals who believe in buying custom and disrupt the system of buying mass-produced, impersonal and low quality goods. Of course, we know why we do what we do, but we want to hear it from your perspective:
What are the reasons a Buyer would want a custom piece of jewelry? Why should a Buyer work with a professional artisan (we call them Makers) or jeweler? Is there any tangible value for a Buyer working with a Maker who is passionate about his or her craft?
