What type of jewelry do you make and what sells the best? Where do you sell your jewelry? I am new at selling my jewelry, but I am having so much fun making it!!! I strictly bead for right now. I want to get into wire wrap, but I just haven't taken the time yet!

i too create beaded jewelry and addictive to it.... I used to use acrylic, glass and wood beads with seed beads, but i found this wonderful site where I now can buy a variety of beads and findings with no shipping and handling. It beadland.com. I love to see all the new jewelry I create and I used to have tons of it stored either on my bedroom wall or in a shoebox, because I have so much of it... Selling it.. I don't really charge that much... It usually depends on the time I put into it, the cost of materials, etc....

I've just begun beading jewelry. I won a jewelry making kit recently that had a lot of beautiful beads in it. http://Etsy.com is the best place to sell handmade jewelry, and some people start their own shops. It is a lot of fun and addicting!

I use to do it as a kid but nothing like a business. I'll encourage you to keep learning and keep doing what you want with this. If it was me, I'd probably sell it online using a website. Some items that might be popular. Birthstone rings, amulets, necklaces. Twin (matching or opposing color) necklaces. Alternative metal rings (coil rings). Earrings. Don't know if that helps or anything, but I do wish you luck with your endeavor.

Hi, I am new to mylot so, I am a bit behind on this. I make bridal jewelry. I sell through word of mouth, on line and, am in the process of approaching boutiques. Cold calls are a bit tough for me but, sometimes, you have to put yourself out there. I hope you have had some luck with your venture in selling your pieces.
