Making wholesale jewellery available for retailers is a great home based business. You may already have the necessary tools and talent, but are currently only making them for personal consumption. If you have been making fantastic pieces, why not share your talent and earn some extra on the side?

Accessories are a humongous industry. Look around the next time you visit your local mall. How many booths and shops can you see that are selling jewellery? How many of the people you see are wearing jewellery? 60 billion dollars worth of jewellery is sold in the United States annually. A big chunk of these are sold by small stores, the demand for jewellery has created a market for uniquely designed pieces.

The first step is to showcase your designs. The easiest way is to take advantage of online resources. You can blog about your jewellery,
or make an auction page on any of the online selling sites. Once you get your stuff out there, be prepared to meet the demand. One problem with the online approach is that you may end up swamped with orders you are unable to fulfill.

A good way to limit your initial foray is to send an email directly to a local jewellery retailer or go talk to the owner of a local shop. Show them what you’ve got and if they like it you can commit to a small order to begin with. Many shops actually prefer this approach as they can market the pieces as a limited edition.

Before you close any deals, make sure you are not violating any local selling regulations. If there are any license requirements, get them before you make any sales.

Great talent is a gift to be shared, so if you have a knack for great jewellery, do not be afraid to earn from it. You fortune may already be in your hands.
