I have a skinny, rainbow beaded keychain & a purple butterfly because in Mexico a butterfly, a "mariposa" can mean lesbian. I’m working on getting more subtle signs, too…
Diversity sticker on my car, button on my messenger bag that says "My parents said I could be anything so I became a lesbian", t-shirt that says "hooray for boobies" amoung others, large butterfly on my inner ankle and great big ribbons tied round the tree in front of my house (one for each color of the rainbow).
how to price silver handmade things?
Author: admin
when i make silver things, jewelry and pendents. i usually weigh them and see how many grams of silver i used… how do i price based on that…is their and online calculator of some kind i can you to count how much money worth of silver i used? (i know the price changes everyday but i need an avg.)
also how much cost would you put in for the work? (of say a ring with no stones for example)
thanks!
I typed "current price of silver" into my browser and came up with a list of sites. To know what the average is you can track the price for a few days, or search around for a site that has a long enough record to figure it out.
Another option is to record the prices on days that you buy materials and then average those days together. After all those are the prices you actually paid, so it makes sense to average them rather than random days.
Many artists price their work by takeing the price of the materials used and multiplying by three. Since silver is so expensive this method may leave your prices on the high side.
Another idea is to look at similar works by other artists and check their prices. If you’re going to be competing with other silverworkers at a venue like a show or website, you can bet that shoppers will be comparing prices. Take a look around where you plan to sell and price to compete. You can get away with charging a little above other sellers if your merchandise has some built in appeal like being one of a kind in some meaningful way, made of superior materials or with better techniques, etc.
A last consideration is to think about who your customer is and why they are buying your product. Customers will often pay a little more for gifts than they will pay for themselves. Customers who are buying for themselves are often interested in sales that reward them for buying multiples like a discount on matching earrings when you buy a necklace or any sales that involves the phrase "buy one get one."
Price items for what you feel is fair to yourself and to the buyer.
How do I sell handmade jewelry online?
Author: admin
I am making home made funky punk/emo/scene jewelry and I want to start selling it. I was going to make a site on yahoo with and ecommerce thing but I don’t know much about it can someone please give me advice on how to go about this? I would greatly appreciate any help.
there is a website called Etsy.com which is specially designed for selling handmade goods, not quite sure how it works but check it out. There is also ebay which has a wide audience.
They are $100 gift certificates received before Christmas that can be used from January 15th - June 15th 2007. To use a $100 certificate, you have to spend $200. I would like something concrete saying they are good to use at Jared Galleria of Jewelry.
Call a Jared’s store and ask.

Latvia - 7 Reasons to Consider it as a Destination
Author: admin
The country that we call Latvia today has long attracted foreigners - at first, invaders of all kinds and later travellers and adventure seekers. For example, since the 1830s the region surrounding the city of Sigulda has been called the “Switzerland of Vidzeme” by German travellers who compared the sandstone banks of the old Gauja River valley with those of the river Elba in Saxony.
In the 20th century Latvia suffered through two world wars, and from 1940 until 1991 it was occupied and isolated behind the Iron Curtain by the Soviet Union. As a result, Latvia has been relegated to a “blank spot” on modern European and world tourist maps.
Today, this largely unknown land is waiting to be discovered, ready to be revealed as the colourful mosaic that is Latvia.
Why consider Latvia?
1. Latvia is among the few countries left in the world where natural ecosystems, largely untouched by man, still thrive in half of its territory. It is a haven for the tourist who seeks to experience a land where nature and tradition have coexisted in harmony from time immemorial.
2. Latvia is land of contrasts. Everything about Latvia is a contrast. The buildings, the scenery, the people, the customs and the experiences. It is just simply amazing to see and experience the surprises that crop up around every corner and in everyday life. From the experiences at the small cafe to the performances at the opera or ballet.
3. Latvia dating back to early in it’s modern history, Latvia has been a place of society, culture and educated people. The most significant inventions by Latvians’ include the MINOX miniature camera in 1937. It was invented by Walter Zapp from Riga.
4. Latvia is the country of handmade gorgeous linen clothes and accessories and amber and silver jewelry.
5. Riga, capital of Latvia has the finest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe and was inscribed on the World Heritage list of UNESCO in 1997 because of the “quality and the quantity of its Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture”.
6. Latvia - destination for hunting. The prevalence of unspoiled countryside means that there is a lot of entertainment to be had in Latvia. Deer, boar, moose, beaver, lynx, and wildfowl are some of the animals available for hunting. The SFS (State Forest Service) is the major authority administering hunting laws, so be sure to coordinate with them if you plan on going hunting. Be aware that Latvia also conforms to EU hunting laws.
7. Latvia has tempting diverse gourmet restaurants and cafes, hottest night life in Northern Europe.
