Find your inspiration. Fashion shows, print magazines, your local art shops… these are all good source to find inspirations. Creative is endless, what you should do is to take a look at the fashion trend and add your imagination.
Think about what type of piece you want to create. Determine if you are into making bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, brooches or pins, belt buckles, or some other type of jewelry or a combination of a number of types.
Buy jewelry tools that you need to create your pieces. These can include pliers, solder tools, glue, buffers, kilns or ovens, etc.
Purchase your jewelry supplies. These can include beads like acrylic beads, wood beads, stone beads, glass beads, metal beads, findings including clasps, crimp rings, ends, links…, wires, resin flower cabochons, charms, pendants…
If you jewelry pieces are for sale, then you should also take into consideration of the following aspects:
Determine to whom you are planning to sell. Decide if you are wanting to mass market, sell to local shops, have jewelry parties or attend art fairs and events.
Prepare your resume as well as your portfolio. This will include narrowing down your initial work to your best pieces, and choosing a simple way to show them.
Figure out your pricing and determine how you are going to display your beads jewelry.
Work on your business basics, and create a business plan that lists start-up costs. This includes choosing your business name and obtaining, through your state’s Department of Revenue, a resale tax number. In addition, open a bank account strictly for your business.
If you sell in other states, obtain your sales tax permits for those states as well.
Offer to do a project for someone or for a company. Let your work speak for yourself, and if the agreement is mutually agreeable or successful, consider future projects together.
