High-End Handmade Jewellery Online

High-End Handmade Jewellery Online

If you are thinking of finding a way to make some money, you might want to think about selling High-end handmade jewellery online. It can be a great way to bring extra money into your home. You can also have a lot of fun doing it.

The first thing you want to do is decide if you want to do this part-time or full-time. If you are just doing it part-time, you will not have to put in as many hours. If you want to do it full-time it is going to take a lot more work and you will have to make sure you are putting in enough hours to make it profitable.

You then need to decide if you are going to make your own jewellery or if you are going to use a drop-shipper to sell someone else’s work. Either option will provide you with a solid income but there are differences. If you decide to make your own you have a lot more control over it but you also have a lot more work to do. If you decide to use someone else’s work it will be easier but might be a challenging finding the right person to order from.

Think about what talents you have and make your decision from there. If you are good at making high-end jewellery, then it is probably a good idea that you make your own. You can really get as creative as you want and play around with lots of ideas.

If you are not creative and more business-like, it would be better to find someone else to make them. You can find someone who already does that will offer the pieces at wholesale value, you can find a drop-shipper or you can even hire someone to work for you. Figure out what you think would be best for your own business.

Now that you have figured out where the pieces will come from you need to set up an online shop. You can do this on your own using WordPress or another similar site. You can also do this using a site like Etsy and sell your pieces there. It just depends on how much control you want over the site and how much money you want to spend.

Once you spend some time getting your site set up, you will need to start advertising. There are different ways that you can do this. You can pay for advertising or take advantage of social media and do it for free. Social media is a great way to get your name out there.

Spend time setting up social media accounts for your business. You want to be sure that you will be seen in different places around the internet. You need to get the word out about your new business.

Tell all of your family and friends about what you have started. Let them know of any discounts you might have and ask them to share your on their own social media accounts. Take advantage of what the internet has to offer as far as getting the word out about your business.

Keep in mind that anytime you run a business you will need to take it seriously. You will need to work hard and obey the law and you must pay your taxes too. It would be a good idea to meet with someone to find out exactly what you have to do.

Have fun with your new business and make it unique. That is the best way to stand out in the crowd. You want your jewellery to be the best there is for those shopping online.

Engagement rings: hot trends in 2014

Engagement rings: hot trends in 2014

Engagement rings

While the idea of the engagement ring continues as symbol of love between two people, the styles and designs move ahead. There are some classic styles for diamond rings which are as popular as ever but modern jewellery designers ring the changes. They look to use new stones, materials and contemporary designs using the older materials of 18c gold and diamonds. From all designs the world will see in 2014, here are some hot trends we will see in 2014.

 

Floral-detailed rings

Love is not a static object. Instead, it lives and grows throughout the time just like flowers. It begins with a seed and the help from sunlight, water, and the soil, it grows to a beautiful flower. Your love lives in the same way. A couple begins their love journey with interest to each other; then the love will grow through the time with all the joys and hardships. Jeff Cooper Designs then use this idea to make their floral-detailed engagement ring.

 

East-west setting

As more people look at other cultures for inspiration in their lives, it makes sense for them to do the same with styles and designs for their engagement rings too. Common engagement ring comes with vertical positioning of the stone. Sylvie Collection tries to bring a breakthrough with presenting its East-West setting engagement ring. Instead of placing the stone vertically, this engagement ring has a horizontally-placed gemstone. In addition, it also comes with different stone cut and shape including marquise, emerald, and oval cut.

 

Colorful Diamond

For most rings, the diamonds are the classic pure colourless type however some people prefer coloured stones for their diamond engagement ring. One designer who uses coloured stones is from Simon G. His engagement rings come with various colours such as blue, pink, and yellow. The most interesting aspect is all the colours come with stunning shine. As an alternative, the manufacturer also offers a variety in gemstone options from sapphire, emerald, and ruby.

 

Double halo

In the last few years, halo engagement rings have grown in popularity. The halo represents the perfection of the relationship. This style has a wonderful reflection, high grade diamonds and beautiful designs. One jewelry house, Rahaminov, also features double-halo engagement rings with its Forevermark range. This ring has two-tiered halos to double the perfection of conventional halo engagement rings.

 

Mixed metal

While some designers or ring manufacturers focus in the stones or ring design, there are some designers who think outside the box. Instead of focusing on those traditional components, they look for a unique design idea. Gabriel & Co., for example, has a mixed-metal engagement ring design. This is great for couples who find it difficult to choose which metal to have for their ring material, whether rose gold, platinum, or yellow gold. The idea is simple. This ring combines the three of them in one ring. It gives a modern feel to the ring and is guaranteed to be very different from most other rings you will see on a woman’s finger.

 

Twisted band

Today, many people think that the linear ring form has become too

commonplace. For this reason, some engagement ring designers have come up with a unique approach. These designers, such as Mark Schneider, tried to create a unique engagement ring that uses a twisted-band form. Even though the twisted band is not the only aspect of the design that attracts people, it is undoubtedly a very different style from the regular smooth, round ring. By combining the classic solitaire diamond with the contemporary ring design, it brings together the traditional engagement with a touch of modernity. It perfectly symbolises the wedding itself. The wedding may come from ancient tradition and value, but the love it brings should live and grow throughout the time.
