Handmade bead loom bracelets?
Would you pay $150 dollars for one if you liked the style?
They are all handmade from glass beads and sterling silver clasps.
The swarovski crystal bracelets would cost a bit more though also. would you pay that much?
do you think other ppl would?
It would be a great loss to sell them for much less.
I need to see pix before i can say.
What sounds like a reasonable price for this?

honestly, no. im pretty sure you can get an amazing outfit with $150. i would save my money for something cheaper and maybe even better looking. but of course, if you are into jewelery then..go for it . sounds like a reasonable price. sort of.. :]

Things made on bead looms havn't fallen into the "trendy" category since the early 1990's, but there may still be a niche market for what you're making. I doubt very much you would be able to price them at $150 unless you were able to get them into a well established and spendy jewelry consignment store.
Typical costume jewelry (non precious stones and silver) doesn't sell for more than $50 per piece, but if you are able to vigourously self promote, you could create "the new trend" that includes your pieces — and the higher prices.
As a side note, you mention that less than $150 would be a great loss — if you mean financially, you can make them less expensivly by sourcing your materials smartly. Shops like Fire Mountain Gems sell thousands of beads, gems, and jewelry finding types in small and large quantities, so they keep their prices low. I'm sure other shops do the same, but this is the one I know for sure. Just something to consider.
