Selling Your Handcrafted Jewelry

I sold my first piece of jewelry by accident. Someone saw me wearing some earrings that I had made and asked me to make them a pair.

I was prepared to make them for free. But, to my surprise, they offered to pay. I was totally unprepared.

After that, I learned how to sell jewelry through a lot of trial and error before getting some help.

Before Selling Your Handcrafted Jewelry
Think About Your Customer

I have sold my jewelry part-time at my work place, home jewelry parties and a few craft fairs.

In other words, you must make sure that your typical customer is the type of person who would attend a particular event - craft fair, gem or jewelry show.

Or shop at a particular place - consignment shop, online jewelry selling site.

Sell Your Jewelry at the Right Venue

If you sell high end jewelry made of intricate beadwork that took you hours to make, you may not want to sell it at your church bazaar or local craft fair.

Why? Because people who usually attend these types of events usually look for bargains. And, after hours of painstaking work you will not want to sell intricate beadwork at bargain prices. Would you?

So, the trick is to find the type of place where your customer will most likely frequent and sell your jewelry there.

In the long run, you will save time and energy by first researching and learning from others how to sell jewelry before you start selling jewelry.
