How do I go about doing this if I live in an expensive city with many nice stores. Am I too young to sell my creations in a store? How many things do I have to have to sell? Are there any places you can think of that would alow me to sell my things that wouldn’t be such an expensive place? Like are there any chain stores that would allow me to sell my pieces?

I recently purchased silver plated metal, does anybody know how well that will hold up? And does gold plated metal tarnish also?

This helps somewhat. It’s for my chemistry class. We have to list 5 chemicals or chemical reactions that are used in different occupations. Mine is jewelry making. I will see if these work. They can’t just be elements such as gold, silver, copper, etc.

What are some good places to get good quality jewelry for every day?

I’m in college, and I have loads of jewelry. One problem — I don’t like to take a lot of it to school since I spend so much time in labs with chemicals and things going wrong, and I’m certainly not wearing it anywhere near a college party. Most of what I own is all real, and excellent quality from my mom…Like emeralds, diamonds, pearls.
Basically, I need more “everyday” kind of stuff. I hate it when it eels cheap though.
Suggestions?

I have prom in a few weeks and have my dress already. It’s a short bubble dress with a halter top. It’s kind of navy blue colored..but a little lighter(”midnight colored”) and I have no idea what to do with my hair(it’s about 3 inches past my shoulders and layered) or what kind of jewelry to wear…I have my shoes already and they are silver so I can’t wear gold…anyone have any suggestions? :]

I have gone through two different engagement rings from Diana Classic jewelers, and each claim to be 18K white gold, but as soon as my jeweler cleans it or polishes it, it turns yellow. The company at this point is refusing to acknowledge that there is a problem, and will not exchange my ring, even though it is the SECOND one that has turned color. Has anyone out there had this same problem? It can’t just be me…

I have a large assortment of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I have trouble finding things and often misplace them(I lose things easily). I can’t seem to find an effective way to store everything so that it’s not cluttering my bathroom counter but is also easily accessible. I’ve tried boxes and labeling bags, any other suggestions?
