There was a thread about this a while ago with more discussion, which I've linked below.
Goldsmith, Silversmith, Jeweller. What are YOU??? - Cooksongold Jewellery Making Supplies Forum | Jewellery Making Forums | Craft Forums
Having said that, my preferred name of the two you mention is hand-crafted. I feel it says you don't make the beads themselves, but craft them into something beautiful, whereas hand-made says to me that you've actually made the components and turned them into some beautiful jewellery.
I like the way you think Jules, nicely thought out and thanks for that link very interesting to read and as you say very similar. As i make beaded jewellery with cheaper components aswell as metalwork with precious metal its finding the right combination to fit both.
