 Thanks to those of you who left some feedback on my most previous post. I appreciate it. I'm glad to know people do check out my blog :] heh

And now thank you for those who left some on this post :]

@Stacey: that's exactly what I'm trying to do, put it low... get a little known, then start slowly putting prices up slowly :]

So, I'm sorry to some of those other jewelry makers whom I might have "stolen" a customer's order from because of my prices, do appreciate your work too! but as others have said, I'm just doing what I have to do to get a little known :]

The main reason why I don't price my jewelry up to match other jewelry makers, is not to shut them out, but just because I think that if I have my jewelry at higher prices, no one would buy it! (Of course I would love to have my jewelry at higher prices, hah)

(Example.. cluster bracelets, I've had a few for a few months, priced around $24, no one bought them, and suddenly when I had them on "sale"for $15, then people bought them! But I put them back up to the $20s zone again. They do take awhile to make after all! But they're so nice when they're finished :D ) I am very slowly increasing the prices though, but my main goal I've been been doing is to not price any piece above $10 unless it REALLY needs to be.

Yea i know some of my pricing on stuff is a bit off... >_> i think i should be pricing my ear cuffs more.. but i dunno since some of the materials to make a few of them doesnt cost a lot compared to other ear cuffs!

Okay! I've seriously been dying since Tuesday....I've been so sleepy/tired and stressing about this exam I had today. In fact, it's like every week now, this 4 unit 8 week class is INSANE. I REALLY wanted to make more jewelry tonight, but I think this is all I can do for now. I'm so sleeeepyyy. (Stayed up late studying last night & woke up early to study some more!) Iiii don't think I did too well on that exam though... :/ It's one of the HARDEST in that class. The rest are a breeze compared to it.

Okay enough of my rambling and onto some cute bow earrings! I know, the name is lame, but blame my brain dead..brain. :p

Hime Bow Earrings

In comments of your purchase, please tell me which color.

Iyah asked me to add on an angel HK charm to a bracelet she bought.

Sorry.. rant mode time......  

(some of you may find this pointless, but, if you are a creator of something and sells it..you'll understand)

If you don't make something & sell it.. I honestly suggest you might not want to read this.

Okay, so, I used to sell a lot, and still kind of do, but not as much cuz I've kind have been neglecting it, sell jewelry on this certain forum. 

Occasionally, there will be people asking for discounts on jewelry...I'm just sick of it now...

A. I already priced jewelry & shipping cheaper there by $1 or more, because I know there are a lot of teenagers on that forum. Even shipping is $2....

B. EVERYTHING becomes a factor when buying handmade jewelry. From gas to drive to the post office, down to the last sterling silver pin. The costs of every jewelry piece is based on the materials used & the time to make it, along with a few extra dollars (at least ONE extra $1 on this forum....) thrown in to at least make some profit off of the piece that the maker enjoyed creating. The point of selling the jewelry is to share it with the world and at least make a little money off of it... not lose money, might as well just give it away!

C. Most of the time, there is NO PROFIT made off of shipping! Shipping is based off of packaging supplies and the actual cost to ship what you ordered. 

D. The additional freebies are indeed, free to the buyers, bought by the seller with their own money.

E. Do not ask for some discount on STERLING SILVER jewelry, $5 shipped for a custom Sterling Silver jewelry piece... there's almost no profit in that when you factor in the materials used, packaging, time... and so on. I mean... Compare my prices to other jewelry makers? REALLY? get real... my prices are already dirt cheap prices! Tell me, when have you EVER seen a sterling silver jewelry piece priced at $3 from an actual store you walk into? I sure as heck haven't.

F. When you're purchasing handmade jewelry, one would only hope, you're purchasing the piece not just because you like it, but also because maybe, you would like to support the jewelry maker that created the piece.

I've actually been thinking about closing that shop down.... Sorry, I just REALLY needed to get that off my chest... Feel free to be a hater against what I said :/ but it's what I believe, if you don't like it, too bad, please go somewhere else.

Please.. at least just keep this in mind when purchasing handmade jewelry from me, or even another jewelry seller. Thanks for reading...I at least feel a little better...You know... it's best not to keep things in >.<
