Are these cute or am I delusional? Amongst other questions.

Hi! I started making jewelry as a hobby around December of last year. I feel like I’m starting to figure out my style. Part of me wants to create a collection and maybe try to sell some pieces, so here are some questions:

  1. Are these cute/wearable?

  2. Do they feel unique?

  3. Together, do these pieces feel cohesive?

  4. Does my jewelry look reasonably well made and can you tell I am using quality materials?

  5. What advice would you give to someone considering selling jewelry?

progress

about a month since I’ve posted the first go on necklaces, trying to give them each a more unique individual style but still finding that to be kinda difficult. Really loved all these pieces though and wanted to share 🤎 (apologies for the cat fur my boy sheds like crazy lol)

I know this one’s not fancy but that was the point.

Wanted a sport bracelet. Weaved this solid rope bracelet because I was tired of the crap ones I was buying that lasted a week or two. Created a sterling silver charm and heavy duty hinged sterling silver magnetic clasp from scratch. Really liking it.

Freelance CAD designer

Hi folks, I am a custom jewelery CAD designer requests have grown faster than we can currently manage in-house. We are looking to start outsourcing a significant amount of design work to an experienced designer. What we are specifically looking for is a person who can do the CAD design work and provide us with the .3dm file and we will take it from there with the rendering, printing, and casting. If this is something that you are interested in feel free to DM me, and I’ll send some work your way. We particularly would like to work with someone that uses Matrix Gold as that is what we currently use.

Is this usable?

is this piece of sterling still usable or does it need to be remelted?

I was milling it to make it thinner and longer for a ring, but not sure if I should continue with this piece or not? is it a lost cause?

thanks !

Is there a tutorial for alternating colors with crystal bead purse weaving?

Is there a tutorial for alternating colors with crystal bead purse weaving?

Hello! My current hyperfixation is crystal bead purse making, I’ve gotten the gist of the technique down, turning corners, hiding/adding new string and all that. I want to make one with these colors (and green when they ship) and either do this pattern or just alternate each row white/pink/purple/green. I have this practice piece, and inside the rows I can figure it out mostly, but on the next rows and corners my brain can’t compute which color to do first/where the color will end up lol and it’s taking like 5-10 tries of looping and checking to see if I’m doing the right pattern before getting them in the right spot. If there’s a video that would help me get a visual that would be amazing! All I can find is single shade bead tutorials, or specific patterns I’m not wanting that are with multi-strand little beads so not much help.

Any pendant manufacturers?

So I’m based in Toronto and want to expand my jewellery business by selling custom pendants, does anyone know any good manufacturers who can create pendants and do all the work, like stone setting and polishing with a low moq and a markup not too crazy? I watched a YouTube video and this guy SlavaTv had someone that would manufacture pendants and only charge 10 dollars over spot price for gold and the wholesale price of the diamonds but i haven’t purchased his course, any feedback appreciated!

New to jewelry making

Hi! I’m new to jewelry making. (Just for personal use)

I’m wanting to make shark tooth and seashell rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

I have no idea where to get quality material for the base of those jewelry pieces for a decent price.

If anyone has any tips, tricks, or recommendations for this, I’d very much appreciate it!

Am I pricing my jewellery wrong - honest feedback?? and maybe some guidance

I'm running a small jewellery brand (8-10 orders per day) and recently launched my website on Shopify. Currently struggling with pricing, especially how to plan margins properly and all..

Right now, I’m roughly doing cogs × 2 or 2.5 but not sure if this is the right way, especially after considering all the costs from Marketing (ads, influencers), Returns / discounts and shopify fee ( it'll bump up next month)

For those running D2C or jewellery/fashion brands, how do you actually break down your pricing?

Would really appreciate if you can share thoughts around - pricing logic (if any), rough margin range.

Any mistakes you made early on if possible. hehe.. :)

As a first time women-only solo founder, I'm trying to learn and build this the right way.

Using Dies/Molds for Inlay.

Does anyone do this can it be done?

Instead of engraving or using an overlay using a die to impress a design that can then be inlayed with enamel or crushed stone.
