Selling Handmade Jewelry Made Easy: Just Wear It!
Posted by Eri
One of the things I have always loved about the business of making and selling handcrafted jewelry is that I don’t have to actually do much selling.
All you have to do is wear your jewelry and as long as you’ve made something that is eye-catching and appealing, someone is going to ask you, “Where did you get that?”
When you answer, “I made it myself” you are on your way to one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to sell.
When people really like your jewelry they will say something like, “Do you sell any of jewelry?”
How easy is that? It’s a salesperson’s dream situation.
Yesterday, I read a blog post that reminded me again about how much fun it is to sell jewelry like this.
But what I really liked about this one is the unique item the jewelry artist uses to show off her jewelry making skills.
She uses a lanyard that she made to hold her YMCA member card. What a cool idea!
Check out the article she wrote about this, and look around her website as well.
There are a ton of tips on her site about making Polymer Clay beads.

Was searching around your wonderful site Eri reading stuff and I found this article mentioning my site. What a fun surprise! Thanks!
It really does work to wear your jewelry as a way of selling your pieces. Just this week I got another order for 5 more lanyards by wearing mine to the YMCA! It sure is a easy way to bring in a few more extra dollars, which is something we can all use at a time like this!
