So you want to learn how to make jewellery? Many people in the how to make jewellery hobby make jewellery for fun and that is good enough for them, but, did you know you can learn to make some incredible and unique jewellery that almost anyone will love and have to have? That means you can have fun and make some extra money while doing something you love.
Some ideas you may want to lookinto is if you already are an experienced jewellery maker you could open an online store that sells your various earrings, necklaces and bracelets. You can also create a how to jewellery guide for other people who want to make their own jewellery.
You can even start one on one classes or even classroom based tutorials to teach others how to make jewellery; or even a weekend workshop or seminar. I have several friends who have weekend workshops on various crafts and hobbies.
So you have learned read all the how to jewellery books, attended classes and are now making your jewellery with the greatest of ease. Your designs are unique and have gotten many and kind compliments. So now you are ready to take your talent to the next level. You need some exposure so you can sell your handmade jewellery for profit. So how does one accomplish this?
Well first of all you should at least where your own handmade pieces as much as you can, this way you will get more exposure and will increase your chances of someone noticing and asking you more about them. You should keep samples or even pieces ready and packaged for sale in your car or even purse, laptop bag or in a carry all bag. This way one someone does ask you where you got that earring, necklace or bracelet you can show them and even perhaps sell one right there on the spot.
Get a website! create some business cards and keep them with you so you can give these cards away so people will know how to buy more pieces from you. Here are some places that you might be able sell or showcase your work.
Your local Library – many libraries will have showcases that will display work of local artists. Call the library and talk to someone in charge to find out if you can showcase your pieces, not necessarily for sale but just to display them to create buzz and exposure. Include your most unique pieces and make sure you include a description or card with your showcase and perhaps explain the history behind the piece or how it was made etc…
There are some people who contact local non retail businesses and ask them if they can display their work in usused spaces or extra space they may have. This can acctract more attention to their own business as well.
Tourist information centers. Call your local tourist center and ask if they have any unused space or cases for you to display your designs You can even include your own how to jewellery tips when displaying your work.
Hotels. Many of the larger hotels will have display cases that can be used. You could get national attention so make sure to have a website or contact details readily available and in plain view. You could also check with the hotel gift shop, perhaps a deal could be worked out with them to sell your pieces.
Culteral center in your city or town. Many visitors of these centers tend to be into arts and crafts and could lead to more sales and exposure for your work. Keep extra business cards handy at all times.
Some other places you could try are schools, churches, farmers markets, airports and craft centers. Try these places and soon you will be finding more and more places to showcase your work. You will begin to have more ideas and creative ways to expose and sell your work.

What is the best way to package jewelry for a move. I have a ton of necklaces and fishhook earrings and other small nick knacks that I’ve purchased while living in my current residence and I have to to move. Right now most of my jewelry is hanging on vanity trees and I’m wondering whats the best way to package them so they dont get tangled or damaged during the move.
When moving jewlery around you can get a box of snack sized or sandwich size ziplock bags and put each piece in its own baggie. Just toss all the baggies in a box that will contain them well ( without smashing the bags together) and of you go. Simple, effective, and cheap.
I really love jewellery and when I’m older I plan to study jewellery design, I want to start making some pieces as a hobby, i really like the kitsch style and quirky necklaces and bracelets. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good way to start making jewellery and any good websites to get some charms from? 
Many thanks.

Check out Fire Mountain. Besides selling virtually any and everything you would need as a supply, they have a gallery of designs, and the staff are very helpful. They have online chat (or was that email?) but also you can call them.
They also sell silver CLAY and the tools to form the jewelry and to fire (or "torch") it. I plan on buying that set up this next spring.
Have fun!

I’m clearing my room, and I have lots of bracelets and necklaces that keep getting tangled. I have one jewellery ‘tree’ but it is not big enough for all off them, and jewellery boxes don’t really seperate them and keep them organised. Any ideas?
If you don’t have jewelry boxes.. here’s a good idea.
Buy some envelopes, you can make them any color you want. And you can accessorize them however you want to. With stickers, glitter, anything! Make sure you leave room on the front. Write down on the front of the envelope what the necklace/bracelet is!!
Put it in a drawer, and you’re ready to rockk & rolll. (;
I often purchase cheap gold jewellery from high street stores. However, often the gold colour rubs off and the metal is left a coppery-bronze colour. Is there any way I can prevent this or get the jewellery back to its original gold colour?
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, I love some of my cheap jewellery even more than my real, expensive jewellery!
I love my cheapo’s too but they turn my fingers green!
Prior to wearing them I paint them with clear fingernail polish. Usually 2 coats to keep it from chipping and I never turn green again!
