How much would you pay for this handmade jewelry?


handmade jewelry
Mel asked:


I am starting a small jewelry business to make money on the side. I have posted pictures (sorry for poor quality) of a few completed pieces, but I am working on several more complex designs. These particular pieces are handmade using ceramic, glass, stainless steel, sterling silver, and nylon components.

1.) How much would you pay for these pieces? Just give a range.
2.) Do you have any suggestions for future designs? Colors, shapes, etc.

Thank you all!
I have invested $5-$8 in each of the necklaces, which take 1-2 hours to make.

They’re durable and made of high quality materials–how could I modify the designs so that people are willing to pay more?

    Wow those are impressive. Nice work.

    1. It would definitly depend on the peice of jewelry but I don’t know somewhere from 10 dollars to 30 dollars would probably be a reasonable price for homeade jewelry.

    2. Stay away from the bright pinks because your style definitly is not like that. Try to go for more light blues, greens, and purples. I also think it would be cool if your engraved sayings or words into parts of the bracelets in the future, people love when there is great meaning to a piece of jewelry. For example if you wrote something like HOPE or PEACE you know inpirational stuff like that. Oh, and definitly make the majority of them have lots of color. You should do some browns and blacks but try to stay away from darker colors and stay in the tuorquoise, blue, green range. I really liked the colors of the last three ones alot better then the first ones.

    Hope I helped, your designs are beautiful keep up the good work. ImaL
