Fine vs. Artisan Jewellery: Which One Is Right for You?

, by Jewel Hub, 3 min reading time

Whether you’re celebrating a special milestone or simply want to elevate your everyday look, jewellery is one of the most personal forms of expression. But with so many styles and materials available, how do you choose the right piece?

At JewelHub, we offer two distinct collections: Fine Jewellery and Artisan Resin Jewellery. Each has its own charm, value, and purpose. In this guide, we’ll explore the key differences and benefits of both, so you can make a confident and inspired choice.

 Fine jewellery, often crafted from precious metals like gold and silver with gemstones like diamonds, pearls, or sapphires, emphasizes craftsmanship and enduring value. Resin jewellery, on the other hand, uses epoxy, UV, or other types of resin, allowing for vibrant colours, unique textures, and the inclusion of elements like dried flowers, photos, or other materials. 

Fine jewellery refers to high-quality pieces made with precious metals like 14k or 18k solid gold and adorned with authentic gemstones—including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, amethysts, topaz, and opals. These are heirloom-worthy treasures, designed to last a lifetime and beyond.

  • Materials: Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), gemstones (diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies), pearls.
  • Gemstones: Natural and precious (certified where applicable)
  • Techniques: Casting, forging, stone-setting, engraving, polishing.
  • Styles: Classic, elegant, timeless, often reflecting traditional designs. 
  • Durability: Highly durable, often suitable for daily wear
  • Value: Holds or increases value over tim
  • Occasions: Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, luxury gifts, or investments

Artisan resin jewellery is handmade using high-quality resin, often mixed with natural elements like dried flowers, gold flakes, shells, or pigments. It’s a modern and artistic form of self-expression, ideal for those who love customisation, colour, and creativity.

  • Materials: Epoxy resin, UV resin, acrylic, other types of resin.
  • Techniques: Pouring, molding, curing, adding pigments, inclusions and embellishments.
  • Styles: Modern, colorful, creative, often featuring unique textures and designs. 
  • Designs: One-of-a-kind, customisable, colourful
  • Affordability: More accessible price point
  • Weight: Lightweight and comfortable to wear
  • Occasions: Everyday wear, gifts, creative fashion statements

Which One Should You Choose? Choose Fine Jewellery if you:

  • Are celebrating a major life event
  • Want a lasting piece with intrinsic value
  • Prefer elegant, classic, or minimalist designs
  • Enjoy investing in heirlooms

Which One Should You Choose? Choose Artisan Resin Jewellery if you:

  • Love creative, eye-catching designs
  • Want an affordable way to accessorise with impact
  • Appreciate handmade artistry
  • Like expressing your personality through colour and form

Why Not Both? Many of our customers at JewelHub choose to mix and match fine and artisan jewellery. Pair a timeless gold ring with a colourful resin bangle, or wear resin earrings with a delicate gemstone necklace. This blend of tradition and innovation creates a unique style that’s all your own.
