Making Affordable
Jewellery
There's
always a market for quality, original gemstone jewellery
- but in these tough times, buyers have cut back.
However, your can make great necklaces, bracelets and
earrings from less-expensive beads, like shell and
glass. Glass pearls look fantastic, but cost very
little.
Wooden beads look good too. Cheap to buy,
and have the added appeal of being natural. Chip
beads are always great value, especially as they are
usually in double-length strings which go a long way.
Another way to save making jewellery is to use more
findings, like spacer beads. Not only does this
save you on expensive gemstone beads, but it gives your
design more style. For ideas see some budget jewellery
for sale in the UK at jewellers Pia:
The
Pearl
Necklace – A Classic Seller!
Of
all the pieces of jewellery every woman wants most, is a
pearl necklace - because it combines classic
sophistication with timeless elegance.
A string of pearls around the neck always looks
expensive and graceful, and goes with casual clothes to
formal evening wear.
You can sell a
pearl necklace at a good price – because customers’
expect them to be expensive
Pearl
necklaces also make much-appreciated lasting gifts.
Jewellery created with large pearls, especially
black, make the wearer look like a movie-star. Adding
confidence no other fashion accessory could. Even small
children ooze class with light shades of white or
coloured pearls.
Look online or in magazines for
design inspiration.
Some string four strands of pearls together for a
necklace, others make the pearls go further by knotting
and combining with different beads like lapis or
turquoise and a catch.
Sometimes just a simple choker is all you’re
after.
For maximum profit sell matching
sets: necklace, earrings and bracelet.
You will normally need more than
one string to make a necklace, except for a short choker
with other beads added. Pearls are usually sold in
15-inch strings, and there will only be a few on the
string the size quoted. A Choker necklace is 16-inches
long, a Princess necklace 18-inches, and a Matinee
necklace 24-inches. A bracelet is usually 7-inches and
an anklet 9-inches long.
