Designing Uniqueness: Louis Krudo's Handcrafted Jewelry

Why wear what everyone else is wearing? That’s one of the first questions that leads people away from the mass-produced, cookie cutter design kinds of jewelry to the handcrafted works of talented artisans. For discerning buyers, there’s no replacement for unique jewelry designs.

Louis Krudo specializes in this type of jewelry. An accomplished artisan and custom knife maker, Louis has now turned his talents towards creating a line of jewelry for men and women that offers unique designs and handcrafted quality. These character-defining rings, necklace pendants and beads speak to the primordial forces that drive the designs Louis creates.

They also give their owners a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry as Louis cast each individual piece himself.

Why Choose Handcrafted Jewelry?

As with all jewelry purchases, the decision to choose handcrafted jewelry is one of personal taste. Certainly, there are many reasons why picking jewelry designed and cast by an artisan with his own unique vision is the right way to go for many consumers.

Custom-made jewelry is one-of-a-kind, cast specifically for the individual who commissioned it. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, which is made in large quantities and lacks uniqueness and individuality, a handcrafted piece of jewelry has its own slight variations that make it different from other pieces of jewelry, even those that share the same design.

There’s also the issue of quality. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, someone who casts his own designs always focuses on creating pieces that reflect his vision. That means not cutting corners and maintaining the integrity of his unique jewelry design. In the case of Louis, he casts each piece himself, overseeing the quality of what a customer receives.

With mass-produced jewelry, buyers are limited to what is available at the time. Also, many companies that make mass produced jewelry do so with lower standard materials.

A Question of Style

People also are attracted to individual designers who reflect their own beliefs or who evoke images and include symbolism that speaks to them. In Louis’ case, he seems to attract bold-hearted people who have a connection with ancestral roots, primal energy and meridians of ancient civilizations.

These are not your typical designs. From the Mondrial ring and Lights Out rings to the War Mask and AXE Hammer and SPIKE Hammer silver pendants, Louis gives his customers unique pieces of artwork that speak to something within themselves.

For every piece, Louis casts it using a process that includes making a wax model, creating a mold in a steel flask, burning the wax out, melting the metal and then pouring it into the hot flask which is centrifuged or vacuumed.

The result is jewelry that will not only stand apart from what others are wearing, but also speak to your appreciation of and connection to legacy and tradition. That’s the power of handcrafted, unique jewelry designs from Louis Krudo.
