I know that this has probably been asked in the past so I apologize for the repeat but I am looking for suggestions on the best way to sell your own handcrafted jewelry. I have perfected my skills enough that I would like to try and make some money with it, especially with the holiday season coming. Thanks.

Have you tried ebay? You could also make your own website and try to sell them on there. You could take them to craft fairs or flea markets and sell them. Put a little card with it with your name and how to contact you and they may call you again wanting more.

I will have to look into that craft fair stuff and even my own website. I didn't have much luck on ebay. Thanks for your input.

I find that word of mouth is the best for me. I give friends my jewellery to wear free of charge as long as they are willing to 'plug it' everywhere they go. I also wear my own jewellery all the time and will talk to anyone who will listen about how great it is! Often compliments about it will lead to a sale. I just make sure that I have my business cards on me so that I can hand one out and I have my myspace link on it, as well as my oztion link (like ebay but with no listing charges - it rocks!), my email and phone number. Once or twice a year I sell at my local market - which is fun but lots of work! I also sell at some local shops and through market sellers by commission. Put your business cards up on the billboards at the local shops too. Just a few ideas :) Good luck - sell heaps!
