The whole point of handmade jewelry designs is to make them distinctly different. Sourcing uncommon jewelry making components is helpful. I came across ShiShi's Boutique and was wowed by the beautiful variety and quality from this Turkish supplier. Şeniz Özgüle says she personally hand picks her collection, many (but not all) made by artisans in Istanbul where she lives.
