Jewelry as a Job?

By , About.com GuideJuly 28, 2010

Follow me on:

Once you get bitten by the jewelry bug, it won't take long before you start getting serious about it. Even though it is fine, and in some cases preferred, to keep your jewelry designing as a hobby and do it just for the fun of it, your thoughts may eventually turn to thinking about a future jewelry career. Before you quit that day job, here are some informative articles to help you think things through:

I Want to Be a Jewelry Designer
Selling Your Jewelry to Shops: Some Dos and Don'ts
Pricing Your Jewelry
Locating Wholesale Supplies at Lapidary Shows

I also offer a free Jewelry Business Crash E-Course. You will receive one lesson a day for 14 days and learn tons about the jewelry biz. Maybe it is for you, and maybe it is not. But it doesn't hurt to do your homework first.

Love your e-courses, Tammy! This one was especially helpful when I was making the decision to quit my day job and design jewelry full-time. It was a scary thought at first, but as I gathered more information and learned more about what I would need to do (and how to do it), it just felt right. Thanks for giving me the little push I needed!

Thanks for letting me know you found the e-course helpful. You were smart to do so much research before taking the big plunge!
