Bang Bracelets

Are you a teenage jewelry artist? Young jewelry artists who want to sell their work have some unique advantages over their older counterparts. And there are lots of ways young jewelers can find profitable market niches. As a teenager, you are in close contact with the most fashion-conscious market segment of all – your peers. If you wear different pieces of your jewelry to school every day, you’ll always have people asking where you got it, and wanting to place orders for their own. Once you’re known as a jewelry artist, you’ll probably get a lot of custom orders too. Be ready to quote prices when someone at school says, “Hey, what a cool choker! How much would you charge to make me one?” And offering them color choices is very important. In addition to your regular jewelry line, “school spirit” jewelry in your school’s colors is likely to be a huge seller.

Bracelets tend to be popular among the high school crowd. They take less beads and other materials than necklaces, and can be made faster. If you carry a cloth tape measure around in your book bag, you’ll be prepared to do custom sizing. You can charge by the inch or by the bead, or just have a flat rate.

Chokers are also a big seller. A bead or pendant strung on a leather or rubber cord can be a fast and profitable seller. It’s quick to make, not too expensive for supplies, and very cool. Among the high school crowd, hemp chokers with beads are also popular.

And don’t forget that there’s a market for young men’s jewelry. Surfer-dude necklaces and bracelets made with bone, wood, shell, or glass beads on leather or rubber cord are popular for guys. www.Fashionfabulous4u.blogspot.com
