Support

Hi, I’m Candice Yagmin - author, jeweler, and the founder (and heart) behind USA Handmade. This isn’t a big company project; it’s a true labor of love, built and managed by hand (often with a cup of coffee, and my husband Daniel pitching in), right here in the USA.
I started USA Handmade because I wanted a genuine place where you can shop directly from real artists, not faceless drop-shippers. Every vendor is vetted, every product is handmade in the United States, and you can even shop by state to support your local community.
Your support helps cover:
• Website management & security
• Advertising and outreach to bring more customers to our artists
• New features for shoppers and makers
• Keeping this marketplace alive for real creators—not resellers or mass-producers
Every $5 donation helps us stay up, grow, and shine a spotlight on America’s best independent makers.
No drop-shipping. No shortcuts. Just authentic, handcrafted goods, and your support makes it all possible.
Thank you for believing in handmade, in local artists, and in small businesses.
Your support truly makes a difference.
