I have a tendency of going a bit overboard in all things. I am a huge planner and I like to plan big! So, I have lots of new ideas for jewelry designs. This being the case, I'm making room for new designs in my Etsy store. There is a new section of Spring Clearance sale items. I went through my designs and picked ones that are not as popular as others or ones that were not profitable (spent way too much on supplies but didn't price high enough to make a profit) and I marked them down to cost, or very close to cost.
Now for my new ideas!
I am putting together some pieces in birthstone colors. I'm not one of those people that doesn't like their birthstone color and I'm hoping that there are many more like me! There will be sets with Swarovski Crystals and other natural stones. I can't wait to get them all done and on my site, I'm very excited!
I decided to do a little homework on Etsy, Buy Handmade, and a few other sites and realized just how overpriced other designers are. Simple elements, even when purchased individually and not at wholesale, are being sold at a 400-800% mark-up! It's crazy. So, I'm picking up a few simple pieces to put together with a way lower mark-up and hopefully I can make someones day by giving them a lower cost option. Seriously, we're not made of money and especially these days people need to save where they can, even on their most special day.
