If you have a great sense of style and creativity, you should
consider constructing quality custom jewelry wholesale for
individual clients. If you are good at it, you will find that
you have customers calling you over and over again to construct
special pieces for them, or as gifts for others.
Making custom jewelry wholesale isn't hard. Again, you need a
sense of style and creativity - but the skills needed to make
jewelry are very easy to learn. The object is to make your
pieces unique - exclusive. When a client wears custom jewelry
that you designed and constructed, they should wear it knowing
that there is none other like it in the whole world!
Working with clients is actually the hardest part. You need to
get a picture in your mind that matches the picture that is in
their minds. Never construct the piece while they are watching -
this is in effect teaching them how to do it themselves, and you
will probably lose a customer. Never let them know just how easy
it is!
Talk at length with the client. This is the only way that you
can design custom jewelry that matches their likes, dislikes,
and personality. If the piece is to be a gift for someone else,
ask lots of questions about that person, and if possible, meet
them in person yourself. Remember that uniqueness and
exclusivity are the key to making this type of business
successful - but great communication with the clients is vitally
important as well.
Many clients will want you to make custom jewelry wholesale
using stones or gems that they already have. They may even want
you to just enhance a piece that they already have. Before you
start doing this, make sure that you have the skill and
qualifications necessary to do this work. You do not want to
destroy a client's beloved jewelry! Make sure that you ask about
the history of the piece, and find out what special meaning that
piece holds for your client as well.
Of course, you will purchase the pieces that you need to make
the custom jewelry from wholesale resources. Just make sure that
you are buying quality parts - and look for sources for unique
jewelry making supplies as well - imported pieces are great
sources for uniqueness. You will have to quote your client a
price before you start, so be careful here. You don't want to
lose money. Once you've quoted a price, deduct 15% to 30% from
it. Think of the remainder as your 'budget' when buying supplies
to make the custom jewelry wholesale.
