Create Unique Vintage Jewelry
Do you want to make one of a kind pieces of jewelry?.. Do you like some of the older pieces?.. then try creating some unique vintage jewelry and get selling!
One of your best sources of advertisement, are your family and friends.. they are your best supporters and are in your corner for sure!
Why not make them some jewelry, that is one of a kind and reusing some older pieces, such as old beads or stones. You can go to yard sales, garage sales, church bazaars, antique stores, 2nd hand stores, even online... just about anywhere, and you will find baskets of broken necklaces, broaches, earrings and more.
Get creative, and don't discard a piece because the clasp is broken or a few beads are missing. You can take apart these pieces and make a new piece by adding some of your own beads or stones. Or keep it simple, especially if you want to show off one vintage stone, try putting it by itself as a pendant on a nice chain.
The personality of your friends and family should be considered as well, your great aunt Nellie at 82 years old is not likely to wear the latest mood stone or ankle bracelets!.. If you want your friends and relatives to advertise for you, make them something they will enjoy wearing, suits their personality, and give it to them as a gift. They are more likely to show it off and pass out your business cards if they love what you made for them.
If you are wanting to make the leap from jewelry hobby to jewelry business, then you have to take the time to take this first step and invest the time in original pieces for your friends and family. This is a way to get yourself known as your friends and family show off their wearable art at work, with friends, traveling... it is a small investment to pay to get your name out there.
You can also check online for great supplies, there are many sources of metals, such as gold and silver as well as beads, chains and more.. You can get everything you need without leaving your home!.. or you can go treasure hunting locally, which ever way you shop for your supplies, have fun, get creating, and get inspired to make some unique vintage jewelry.
