    Where can I find a genuine baltic amber necklace handmade in Poland?
    I've found several online stores with amber jewelry but I'm looking for genuine Baltic handmade amber jewelry preferably in gold or sterling silver, any suggestions from someone savvy in this subject?

      try this site, they are in Poland, but they have English menu.
      Their jewelry is handmade, and they use different kinds of authentic Baltic amber, but I got to warn you, this stuff is expensive, most likely because it is hand made and the quality of amber if very good.

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the best free blog I could use to start up an online business selling handmade jewelery?
    I would like to sell some handmade accessories like beaded necklaces and bracelets, so I think its a good idea to have good quality pictures to show my stuff. Any idea what is a good blog platform? WordPress? Blogspot? Or anything else? It needs to be user friendly cos I'm quite of a computer idiot. :)

    • ANSWER:
      If you want to sell your handmade jewellery www.etsy.com is a good site to use although they do not have a blog and there is a small charge.

      Problem with putting your jewellery to sell on a blog for free you aren't going to get much traffic and the paying aspect will be a problem. You could also use www.artfire.com and this can be linked to a facebook page for your jewellery.

      You could always do the free blog thing on the side but if you want to sell the blog isn't the best place.

      Also make sure you price your jewellery correctly, many people charge too little.

  16. QUESTION:
    How do you best price your handmade jewelry for a fast sell and profit?
    all handmade by me, materials, price of, and time spent on vary greatly. also, there is transportation and display costs. an example of what i sell is : 16 inch onyx and black agate necklace with a teardrop mother of pearl pendant, 18 inch 3 strand turquoise colored seed beaded necklace with a handmade one of a kind 30mm sterling silver dolphin and hoop pendant. both took about 2.4 hours to make.

    • ANSWER:
      Normally, price is associated with quality, especially when it comes to handmade jewelry. You don't want to price your jewelry too low because people will think maybe something's wrong with it. Fast sell and good profit are almost like oxymorons when it comes to jewelry. A lot of time and money goes into making it, so don't underprice your jewelry. Of course, this means it might not sell as fast.

      You can calculate both wholesale and retail price. Labor is the amount you want to pay yourself per hour. Depending on your experience it can be anywhere from and up per hour. A common pricing formula is the following.

      Wholesale price = (Materials X 2) + (labor X # of hours)
      Retail price = wholesale price X 1.50(50% markup)

      The markup over the wholesale price can be as high or as low as you want but 50% is pretty common. The display and transportation costs cannot be part of the price since those are business expenses. You have to markup your jewelry to the extent that the price will cover all your expenses plus leave you with a decent profit.

  17. QUESTION:
    What is a good name for my handmade jewelry website?

I don't want anything corny or silly. Just something catchy and also will explain what it is I'm selling. Please give me any ideas you have.

  21. QUESTION:
    Do I need a business license to sell handmade items online?
    I make a lot of crafts... Necklaces, picture frames, sewing, knitting, I paint, sculpt, carve, etc, etc, etc. My question is: Can I sell my handmade items and my art online without needing to have a business license if I use a place like paypal to make transactions?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm fairly sure you can. The problem is that you are personally liable, so if (for instance), your picture frame breaks and falls off the wall and lands on their head, they can sue YOU for the damages and take all of your personal assets (like your house or your retirement account.) Now, I don't think it's very likely that that would happen, but the fact is that the possibility does exist. If you incorporate a business (at least with certain kinds of business incorporations), they can't sue you, they can only sue the company--which means they can only take the assets that are in the company's bank account.

  22. QUESTION:
    is making a store for handmade items a good idea?

    • ANSWER:
      I import handcrafted items from many countries and sell mainly on the internet...I make a decent amount of money (am told I should raise prices and make more)...So yes you can do it...hope it works out for you...good luck.

  23. QUESTION:

  24. QUESTION:
    Where to find necklace/bracelet length chains for handmade jewelry?
    Where can I find necklace and bracelet length sterling sliver & imitation silver chains (or the kind made of chain linked tiny balls, I don't know what their called)? Also the black, suede-looking kind? Where can I find them all in bulk at a preferably discount price than individually?

    If you can tell me where I'll appreciate it SO much, plus the 10 points!

    • ANSWER:
      You can get "ball chain" of various thicknesses, in many hardware stores in bulk quantities, with the connectors to fasten the ends.

      As far as "real" jewelry suppliers, I have been very happy with Rio Grande. They have been in business for many years, and carry ball chain in both sterling silver and in non-precious metal, as well as many other kinds of necklace cordage. They have quantity discounts, the more of one item you buy the less the per item cost.

      While I have not used them as a supplier, some of my friends have been very happy with what they have purchased from Fire Mountain Gems. They also carry the ball chain and cordage that you are looking for, and have a similar quantity discount.

      Good luck

  27. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to sell handmade beaded jewelry?
    I make jewelry with beads and twisted wire. I have sold a few pieces but I mostly make pieces as gifts for friends and family. I tried selling a few necklaces on Ebay but they never sold. Does anyone have advice on how to sell handcrafted jewelry? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I like going to the markets... there are sure to be craft markets somewhere in your area. However, you could always try leaving some on consignment at a trendy boutique whose outfits you think your jewellery would complement. Just make sure you do it with receipts and an agreed method of payment in writing.

      Look for the right are, one where there are varied boutiques, cafes, maybe hairdressers and an area that attracts the right crowd. The best form of advertising is to actually wear your own jewellery. It's amazing how often someone will ask where you got it. best of luck.

  28. QUESTION:
    How much should I be charging for handmade jewelry? I usually charge for a necklace earrings and bracelet.
    People seem to like the items I put together but then they always say I am not charging enough. I want to keep the prices affordable.
    People are actually buying so many that it is getting hard for me to keep up. I am just afraid that if I charge more I will lose some of my clients. I am using metal, glass, plastic and wood. I usually get the items at a pretty good deal but it is time consuming. And I never make the same piece.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on the price of the raw materials, how long you spent making the items, as well as where you're selling them. Some places you'll want to sell them at , but if you're selling them at an area where you can mark the price up by , then by all means do so.

      Are these people actually buying your stuff or are they just oohing & ahhing over it? If all they're doing is looking & maybe buying one object, then I wouldn't worry about the prices. While I'm sure they mean it, a lot of times people say stuff like that to sound nice.

  31. QUESTION:
    Is it illegal to sell handmade crafts from you car?
    Hi, I aspire to sell my handmade jewelry and I am wondering if for a start I could just drive down to Morehead Beach in North Carolina and sell my crafts from the back of my hatch back? I dont know what the legalities are although i tried looking it up havent gotten a good answer yet. I dont have a huge operation going on here just about 2 dozen handmade necklaces and bracelets. Thanks for reading I hope Im able to do this lol.

    -Casey

    • ANSWER:
      You will need a license to sell on any beach. also you need more than2 dozen of the items you have made. I would suggest you look for a craft fair or swap meet to start. There you do not need a license because most are for the weekend only. You would rent a table or a spot to set up your own table. going to the beach I would suggest you call the county courthouse in that area. You can also look it up online. Go to North Carolina.gov, Morehead Beach.org,etc.

  32. QUESTION:
    Where do Peruvian artisians buy there raw materials for making jewelry such as earrings and necklaces?
    My friend at work just went there and brought back beautiful jewelry that was crafted there. It was all handmade, even the"loops" for connecting a piece together. I just wondered where they bought there silver wire and beads from. I mean, I don't think they are buying already-to-finish parts from an AC Moore!

    • ANSWER:
      Local mines, most likely. There are plenty of them in that area. They either send the refined metal to a metalworker who makes pieces to specification, or send it straight to the jewler who has been trained in metalworking.

  36. QUESTION:
    I don't have a credit card but I want to sell things online will the below idea work and how?
    I want to sell handmade necklaces online but I don't have a credit card ((or bank account)). I mentioned this to my friend who has a debit card. She offered me the use of her card, but I don't know how to do this. Would everything have to be sent to her, would we have to get a paypal account for this? please, ANY advice you have would be great.

      No that won't work. She would have to set up a paypal account with her credit card, and then give the proceeds to you. But since you have so many questions, i think you are both probably under-aged to use pay pal legitimately. Go to their web site and read up on how to sign up and use the service.

  37. QUESTION:
    Would anyone buy handmade jewerly by a teen?
    I am 12 years old, and I desperately need to make money, and this is all I can think of. I have a whole bead kit, and i'm pretty good at making necklaces. I was planning on putting up catchy fliers in the neighborhood and telling them to call my cell if they were interested. That way they could tell me how they want it made or something, and I can ride my bike over there. Also, if you have a different idea, please please tell me. (I'm good at writing poetry and fiction stories!)

    • ANSWER:
      Wow I'm impressed that someone so young is interested in starting their own business! I think it could definitely be successful because someone at my work (I work in an office) was selling home-made jewellery recently, giving the proceeds to charity. Have you thought about setting up a stall somewhere, like at a community event? I would have said church but it's probably considered immoral to use church premises to make money!

      Black. (Raven is also a black hair color.)
      Divine Designs.

  40. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know where I can seel my Native American handmade jewlery reproductions?
    I make Native American chokers and mandellas. Also medicine stone necklaces. I have them on e-bay but would like to find other places to sell them. Such as gift shops or specialty shops. Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you do not claim they are Native American unless you can prove that you are NA. To do so is illegal and immoral.
      As for selling other than ebay - local craft fairs are a good choice as well as gift shops that will work with you. It is hard to find places that will take handmade jewelry, however.

  41. QUESTION:

      Amazon is a very good, easy and free way.

  47. QUESTION:
    How much should I charge for my handmade jewelry?
    I make jewelry and I'm going to sell it at my community center's flea market. I'm 14, and I don't use anything expensive when I make my jewelry, no diamonds, real pearls, or anything like that. But, the jewelry does look really nice and I think a lot of people will want to buy it. But I don't know what to price them at.
    Could you tell me how much I should price a...
    -necklace
    -bracelet
    -earrings

    Thank you!
    Sorry I don't have pictures but I just need an idea.

    • ANSWER:
      Obviously, I think you should first work out how much it COST to make each item and start from there. I also think the prices should vary a bit, depending on the size, materials used etc. I don't think people would want to pay too much for handmade jewelery at a market. Maybe you could get £3-£5 for some earrings, £4-£6 for a bracelet and about £6-£8 for a necklace. Obviously I haven't seen your jewelery (some pictures would have helped). Also, you could try making friendship bracelets or something like that for little kids and selling them for like 50p. Alternatively, you could just suggest people make an offer and you could "barter" with them. If it goes well, maybe next time you could make a lot more jewelery aimed at different people and you could try using different materials to make more profit.
      Hope this helped and good luck!

  50. QUESTION:
    Eriol Hiiragizawa (Cardcaptor Sakura) Clow key necklace pendant, handmade?
    I know that a user on eBay has handmade Clow key necklace pendants and Sakura key necklace pendants up for bid. Just wondering if anyone knew some place I could buy a handmade Eriol key?

    Picture here: http://i28.tinypic.com/wrl3qh.png
    The sun part of the pendant looks too big for the key, but it was because the frame was screencapped when it was changing into a staff. The sun should actually be so much smaller.

    • ANSWER:
      Excellent choice ...
