How to Create Handmade Jewelry that Sells Well

Creating Handcrafted Jewelry That Sells: Summer is the season for art shows, craft fairs, festivals, and jamborees. Many of these have been running for decades and draw great crowds. You would think that this would be the perfect environment to sell. However, sales are sometimes disappointing. Maybe it is too hot or raining, or everyone is saying your prices are too high.

There are many ways to get inspiration when creating. You can get inspired by animals, wildlife, nature, and also the great painters’ paintings. Finding a niche that draws your customers’ attention is the way to go. There are so many different materials you can use when making your handcrafted jewelry. Deciding on the materials, metal, stone, wire, beads, and shells that you are more comfortable with and that you are more skilled in is a good idea. Always keep in mind that customers have a perceived value in mind. If your jewelry creations are unique, not widely available, high quality, and reasonably priced, you have created great-selling handmade jewellery.

Especially in summer, shows tend to attract people who are looking for lower price points. In these cases, it is essential to have a wide price range. If, in general, your jewelry is elaborate and high-priced, you also need to create some lower-priced earrings and bracelets. This diversification will ensure that every show is a good show.

Many of the summer shows have a theme like horse, cat, and dog shows. Having the proper selection for each is essential. Over the years, we have added many new designs to attract every type of customer, including our latest: dog jewelry.  Listening to your customers is extremely important, and following up by creating something that will appeal to them personally.

It has been a long and enjoyable journey for Copper Reflections, having started creating unique crafts in 1985 on the artisan street of Vancouver, Canada. Along the way, we have had the opportunity to meet and work with some of the most talented artists in North America. We want to thank them for their inspirational motifs and designs. The source of our robust work ethic is the feedback we receive from our customers, and we would like to thank everyone for their support, suggestions, and open-mindedness.

Lynn Bean, Jo Lynch, Bob Coonts, and Nick Gustafson are some of the top artists we work with. We created earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and hair clips from their paintings in matching jewelry sets. Lynn is well known for her beautiful watercolours. Making the jewellery buyer happy and satisfied with their purchase has always been the main priority in our handmade jewellery business.

Since we started Copper Reflections, it has been a pleasure travelling all over North America, meeting new people who have shown their interest in the craft that we have been mastering. Without our customers’ encouragement, we would never have been able to continue our handmade jewelry business for over 34 years.

We have been expanding our selections by using famous paintings by world-renowned artists and transforming them into bracelets, earrings, rings, hair clips, and necklaces in matching sets. Some of the famous painters include Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, and Claude Monet.

We have been working on our jewellery since 1985. We have created the techniques and the designs ourselves over the years. We have participated in many craft shows in Canada and the US, and we believe that we are the only ones making this type of jewellery. We go through 32 steps to complete each piece. Copper sheets are polished and silver-plated, and the designs are printed onto the silver-plated surface. Then the shapes are cut out by hand using shears or cutting tools. Each piece is hand-diamond-cut to make it sparkle.
