How To Start Business With Jewelry

Constructing quality custom jewelry for individual clients can be a great niche to explore if you possess the necessary talent and have a great sense of style and creativity. You will soon be flooded with phone calls asking you to construct special pieces for them or as gifts for others. It is easy to start making exquisite custom costume jewelry if you possess the creativity and talent. If you can create dazzling pieces that can make the client feel unique and special then you would have been successful.

The hardest part is working with clients because you need to get a picture in your mind that matches the picture that is in their minds. It would be a gross error for you to work in the presence of your clients and expose to them how easy it is to create bespoke jewelry - it is tantamount to teaching them the trade and you run the risk of losing clients. Finding out the details from the clients is a good way of knowing what custom jewelry to design to match their taste and personality. If you are designing a piece that is meant to be a gift for someone, learn about them first if possible, try to meet them. While emphasizing on the how unique your creations are, you also need to stay in touch with your clients to make this business successful.

Many clients will want you to make custom jewelry using stones or gems that they already have. They may even want you to just enhance a piece that they already have that is old and requires work to make it look new again. To avoid destroying a client’s beloved piece, make sure you have the necessary skills to do the work before you accept the assignment. Find out all you can about the piece and what special meaning, if any, it holds for the owner.

You will be purchasing the pieces you need to make the custom jewelry from wholesale sources. You may need to spend more buying quality parts from unique jewelry making supplies and imported items overseas so be careful how you quote your price. After all you don't want to lose money so once you've quoted a price, deduct 15 to 30 percent from it. After deducting 15 to 30 percent, use the remainder as your budget when buying supplies to make the custom jewelry.
