Many people are naturally blessed with a creativity and vision to turn small, worthless things into something exquisite and meaningful. Hand made jewellery is also one of the crafts people love to work on. If you are one of those talented people out there, you might as well turn this hobby into a profitable business.

There are many options available to people who craft hand made jewellery. You can either sell it directly to the public through your local store or online ecommerce site, or you can also sell it to boutiques or galleries that are in business for many years.

Just remember that wholesale and retail price of an item, even if its hand made jewellery, are two different concepts. Do a little research to find out how much other people are charging for their hand crafted jewellery. The price of an item largely depends on the materials you use.

Pricing
hand made jewellery correctly is an important step to be successful in this business. Usually people follow different rules for pricing their hand crafted items. One way is to sum up the individuals costs of all the materials you have used in making a particular piece and multiplying it by a constant number.

If it doesn’t take you a long time to make jewellery then you may want to multiply the calculated figure by the number of hours you have worked. However, this might render a piece very expensive if you have spent a lot of hours on first making its sketch and then crafting it using different materials.

You may also want to add some overhead costs to the final price of your hand made jewellery. Whatever your decision is, make sure people are buying jewellery which is worth their money. In any case you goal should be to retain customers and give them something they will remember for a long time.
