Make and Sell Jewelry

You may be wondering what's the point in making and selling jewelry. Maybe you enjoy making jewelry, but you can't see putting forth the extra effort in selling it; or perhaps you're looking to start a home business, but jewelry-making just doesn't seem quite right.

Why make jewelry?

Jewelry is a great handmade business to get into, as it's easy to start making jewelry and it's easy to target a specific style, or to work in various styles in order to market to different groups of people. You can make a simple piece of beach jewelry with some hemp string and cheap beads in under an hour, or you can spend days making a beautiful and complex piece of jewelry using beading wire and delicate crystal beads. With the right materials and a good pattern, you can make amazing jewelry even if it's your first time; and once you start practising, you'll learn what techniques look best together and will be able to create your own beautiful patterns from scratch.

But isn't selling jewelry really difficult? I just want to enjoy my hobby!

If you don't want to dedicate time to taking your jewelry out to retail stores or make the amount of jewelry required to have your own full-sized online shop then yes, it does seem like selling jewelry can be difficult. Fortunately, you don't need to commit yourself to a full-time jewelry job in order to sell your work. You can sell a few pieces as you make them via eBay or Etsy. Selling jewelry has several benefits over making it just for yourself: you can earn enough money to cover the cost of supplies, you can experiment with more styles than you might if you were making the jewelry only for yourself, and you will enjoy the satisfaction of knowing someone else enjoys and admires your work.

Making anything requires some basic supplies. Jewelry is no exception. You need a place to work - any flat surface will do for starters, though it's even better to have some sort of organisation system for your beads and other supplies - and some basic jewelry material. Start off with whatever beads, findings, and other materials your patterns tell you to use, and then experiment with different materials to see if you can make the pattern more interesting.

Some types of jewelry, such as simple beaded necklaces, aren't very complicated and don't require any patterns or special instructions - just an eye for what beads look good together. For more complex jewelry, there's a wide variety of sources for patterns and inspiration.
