The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Another Feather Portland-based designer and jeweler Hannah Ferrara began making minimalistic jewelry after searching long & hard for the pieces she herself wanted to wear. Inspired by her travels, simplistic design, ancient relics, and an appreciation for well made objects and heirlooms, her line Another Feather includes handcrafted metal made jewelry and simple everyday adornments paired down to their most minimal forms. Her collections are often described as ?jewelry for the non-jewelry wearer', and embrace the japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Each piece is designed to be worn day in and out, with a focus on comfort, material, and interaction with the body. Hannah uses traditional metal smithing techniques and tools to craft each item, using recycled metals from sustainable sources and low impact studio practices. Each piece of jewelry is made with care and given special attention to detail, embracing natural imperfections of the hand at work. Hannah holds a BFA in both Metalsmithing Jewelry Design, as well as Fibers Textiles and a BS degree in Art Education. All jewelry is handcrafted in our Portland studio.
