I am starting a new venture making jewelry. I am a earth tone lover and tend to gravitate towards those colors but I know many other people are not liking them as much. So I was wondering what colors do people look for when they are out looking for jewelry? I am doing mostly anklets right now and some bracelets and book marks. I plan to move on though to some more intricate items as I become better at what I am doing. So what colors?

all of them, I'm not a big fan of pink or yellow, but others like them, so make all of them.

I want to but it is hard when starting out to buy everything at once. I am trying to slowly build up both a stash and a clientele. No point in the stash if there is no one to buy the stuff. Thanks.

well, true, buy those colors that people seem to like the most - blues, greens, reds, purples - just a few at first and then any money you make buy more of that color and a few of another

I am also into fashion accessory designing. Earth tone is just perfect for an accessory but I agree that not everybody loves it. People usually use accessories which go well with their clothes. Since it is summer you can make some bright colored items which comes in different colors. Just make sure the colors fit each other. Regarding the trend, in my country the color trend is a shade of purple and pink. People from different age brackets wear this color everywhere. Buyers would love to look and choose from different items/colors so it is also better to not concentrate on one color only.

Make a section of your website where you can interact with your potential customers. Here they might give you 'commissions' for whatever colours they prefer. Earth colours are really a mixture of pure colours. A tiny crystal or a dew-drop amongst earth or moss might unexpectedly sparkle with pure and bright rainbow colours.

I sell on Esty and there is a place but I have been burned on every occasion that some one has asked for items. i end up making them and then the person never comes back to purchase. I also have had them order then send an email the next day cancelling, or my favorite is when they order and then tell me I took too long and they will not pay as it took three days to get to them. I sell online and mail it, the delivery takes more then three days if it's not in the same town! Thanks for the input though, sorry to complain it's fresh the last one...lol

Just wanted to let you know that I went to your profile and I had to copy and paste the link to your site in a new tab. You should really make it a html link so that people can just click on it and it takes them to your site.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OpinionatedLady (1938)   ranked 21 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

Thanks for letting me know, it used to work! I will go see what I can do to make that happen again but I know from a few folks that sometimes Mylot disables those things on their site, (sigh) I will go though and see what I can do.

I like browns. I'm thinking of jewelry I own, or have owned, and I've worn blue, and one of my favorite necklaces that eventually broke, was red. It was like red crystals (not real ones of course) bunched together in a unique shape. It was cheap, but it didn't look it. I'm sure you have really great taste, and whatever you do make is bound to be really good.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OpinionatedLady (1938)   ranked 21 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

Thanks. I am just trying to get some ideas before I buy more just in case my views are a little off from my buyers.

Right now, spring/summer colors are popular. I sell a lot of light blues, aquas, light greens and teals right now. I try to keep many colors available in my shop though...you never know what a potential customer is looking for.
But right now, I concentrate on the colors that sell best for me in the warm weather.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OpinionatedLady (1938)   ranked 21 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

Very cool thanks. What and where do you sell?


myLot reputation of 94/100. creationsbyrobin (2145)   ranked 7 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

I sell authentic sea glass jewelry. I live near the beach, so I'm able to go often, and I also trade with sea glass collectors from all over the world. That allows me to get several different "looks" to my jewelry.
I have a shop on Etsy.com (a few of my jewelry creations can be found in my myLot profile) and I also sell at craft fairs and in a couple gift galleries (consignment.

I go for burgundy jewels and pink. It does depend on what I am going to wear and so forth. I don't care for clashing stuff or too loud. Anklet sound interesting. I used to wear them when I was younger but my ankles are too wide for them now days. I like earth tones too but it really deprends and since I wear alot of pink and burgundy I like browns and greys to wear with them or the same color. I love grey too because it tends to go with just about anything and look nice.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OpinionatedLady (1938)   ranked 21 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

Thanks, i am always glad for your opinions! Gray is an idea I hadn't thought of and it does go with everything, now to find beads and what not...hmmmmm

So you mean not just color but with a little sparkle as well? I do not have much in way of crystals or gems but it is something to expand to once I get a little more into it. Thanks.
