Jewelry Question?
Does anyone really buy handmade Jewelry? I make jewelry from sterling silver and gemstones but I dont have as much success as I had hoped for selling it online. Does anyone here honestly buy handmade jewelry?
Handmade jewelry is best sold at craft fairs and trade shows. The types of people who buy handmade, unique jewelry want to meet the person who made it. They’re the types of people who want to wear the piece, then when they get complimented on it, they say, "Yes, I bought this from a lovely woman in SoHo who made this. She had a little stand under a tree and I just love it!"
I’ve bought some unique hand made stuff. I have a beautiful silver and garnet bracelet I bought from a lady at a charity even where 30% of her profits went to breast cancer. I just love it. It’s really well made and I plan on passing it on to my daughter one day.
You’ll do better business by going to craft fairs, country fairs, swap meets, etc.
Can anyone explain to me how to set up an ebay store and what the general cost ranges as?
have you tried ebay. people sell the dumbest things on there and people buy them.
good luck

I do buy hand made jewelry, but buying it online is a bit iffy sometimes because people aren’t a 100% sure if what their seeing is what they will be recieving.

online is definitly not good, and if you were to sell them make sure they look classy, not tacky

I have been in the business now for for 6 years and yes it is tough.On ebay and 2 websites and try to get as much publicity as possible!You do have to work at getting positive feed back through ratings.I’ve seen others in my field go under.The economy,just doesn’t allow for other than basic expenses.
