There are many definitions of the word Artisan including this one on  Wikipedia . I particularly like the statement that "Manufacture by hand and with hand tools imparts unique and individual qualities to artisanal products, in contrast to mass produced goods where every one is nearly identical"

and also

"Artisan handmade jewellery is prized for its uniqueness, variety, and beauty. Reflecting the talents of the artisan onto the wearer, the broad spectrum of artisan jewelry is available to provide satisfaction to royalty, rock stars, and "everyday folk." "

I hope that what I produce is looked upon with the same regard.
