Wear your jewelry - learn your craft - *then* sell it! I'm always amazed at how many people think they are going to "get rich" selling jewelry they make and they don't even know how to make it - let alone the fact that it's not a get rich fast kind of business. Thanks for the support, Cyndi! That’s one of my peeves. Wear your jewelry – learn your craft – *then* sell it!

Even if you're a guy, it's the wrong colors or style, etc...you can still wear it inside your own home and at least make sure there are no sharp edges or obvious design flaws. It is so embarrassing to have someone contact you with a piece that has fallen apart. Even if it's from rough handling, I want to know that I did everything in my power to prevent it. Mistakes happen and sometimes crimps fail, but we can at least do the road test!
