Hi, well, I've been selling this kind of necklaces, at a local store (beauty salon), and they sell kinda slow, but they sell well, but now I want to sell them online maybe on e-bay, and for now I'm just promoting a few on local classifieds, but I'm so unsure about the prices, because my dad and bf price them so low, and my mom and other girl friends say that they are woth more than that. So I kinda did a research and well It says that I have to ask other people that is not my family their honest opinion, so here are the links to some of the pics of my jewelry…Some neacklaces have real handcrafted crystal beads.So I'll appreciate all of your opinions. Thank You.

These are beautiful!!! I LOVE the third one…put it up and ebay and post the item number!
I would put them up at $14.99 and see how high it goes. What are you selling them for now at the beauty salon? Ebay does not bring a lot for homecrafted jewelry, but you could try. These things sell well at events that have seller booths and at art and crafts fair.
They are very very nice and I hope you do well selling them!

I would appreciate some feedback.
I make jewelry, beaded bags and other handcrafted items. I have only sold online. I visited a local consignment stop to possibly sell my items there. The owner told me that the store would get 60% of the sale and I would get 40%. I expected 60/40 but I thought I would get the 60%.
I do have other stores to visit. But can anyone give me feeback about this?
Thank You

That doesn't seem very reasonable to me unless they can price your things high enough so you get what you need to make a profit. When I do consignment, as long as I get my margin and they sell, the ratio is less important. If you have other stores in your area, absolutely check them all out and compare. The area that you live in may also affect the going commission rates.

I would like some suggestions on what to name my charity business. Here are the points about my business that are important in choosing the name:
–100% of profits from all sales will be donated to an eye hospital in south India
–jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) will be made from semiprecious gemstone beads and silver and will be handcrafted by me.
Here are the ideas I have so far, but none of them satisfy me. I would like the name to be shorter and catchier. Let me know what you think of these or suggest others!
–Pretty Visions Jewelry
–Gift of Sight Jewelry
The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
