A Guide to Market Your Hand Crafted Jewelry

Executive Summary about Hand Crafted Jewelry By Kahea R

Do you find difficulty in selling your jewelry? Or you are interested in selling your jewelry in different manner to your time and money? To market your design means less time to design and more time in travelling, this could cause less productivity level. Thinking about the solution? Well we have some solutions to your problem.

First make a list of sales rep; the jewelry sales reps. Sales reps are the travelling sales person who can carry the several lines of jewelry patterns to move among various boutiques and designer's gallery. All they need is small percentage of total sales; usually it falls between 10% and 20%. For example if your design sells at $ 80 then sales commission will be 9.6 as if the percentage was 12. And if you calculate your travelling time and cost charged then you feel that you had saved a lot. You can find sales rep ads in classified section of Lapidary Journal.

Reason why I am suggesting you to hire a sales person is that he must know the people who are in this field and they can give you the good price of your jewelry. For sales rep you must have a statement of all terms and conditions with all the structured or unstructured problems, including all shipments certification. Networking with other jewelers can also solve your problem.

Another option is to look around for the jewelry exhibits happening in your town. This is also a nice opportunity to get clients who are in search of original hand crafted designs. Once a method starts working effectively then you need not worry about the sales. Only thing you have to worry about is developing latest, creative and most wanted designs.

Handcrafted Jewelry - What Makes It Special?

Executive Summary about Hand Crafted Jewelry By Robert Edwards

Walk down any street in an American city -- I live in New York, but it doesn't matter where you are -- and almost everyone is wearing some sort of jewelry. Lately even men are getting into the trend -- wearing paired hoop earrings -- one on each ear.

Most people are wearing the standard fashions you see in department and chain jewelry stores. Current fashion jewelry takes good advantage of colored stones and modern jewelry making techniques, and so there is a vast array of truly beautiful commercially made jewelry available. For most people, that's fine. Handcrafted items take a person with skill and talent time to make using hand tools.

Handmade jewelry isn't confined to the boundaries factory made jewelry must have simply because it is mass produced. Machines can do that easily and cheaply. Each piece of handcrafted jewelry can be different, like the artist.

We all know the difference between a home cooked meal and fast food. Handmade sweaters are a more personal gift than machine made sweaters. Handcrafted jewelry is special in the same way. The artist hoped this creation would find a home with someone who would know, feel and truly appreciate the unique nature of their jewelry.

Handcrafted jewelry can be made of almost any material. Designs can vary with every piece. It is truly an art form. Most jewelry artisans design unique rings, pendants, earrings or other jewelry items. The limited manufacture of handmade jewelry is what drives the artist to constantly create new designs.

Art has many mediums. Contemporary art jewelry is made with an endless array of beads from all over the world. It can be made from rubber, many types of metal, plastic, glass and even paper. Art jewelry is available to fit every individual and every budget.

People are starting to notice. More are shopping in small stores, craft fairs and online from small artisans. Handmade jewelry is becoming more popular every day.

Consider handcrafted jewelry the next time you're shopping for someone special. The lucky recipient will know you cared for them and spent the time to find a truly unique and personal gift.
