I make beaded jewelry and wanted to start selling some of my work. Would you prefer freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass beads, or…?? Also, would you wear beaded bracelets, necklaces, and/or earrings? Do you prefer certain colors? Just curious what type everyone likes the best.
wood and glass definitely. I like bright colours, like electric blue, orange, yellow, red, pink, purple, green and neon shades. I also like swarovski but I don't wear them often.

So, we have a company that makes beaded jewelry ( necklaces, bracelets & anklets ) all proceeds go towards educating children in India ! Not exactly fair-trade, but more or less. Any ideas of a name that combines this social part ?
Revolution or Revolutions
I hope these look good and apt.. Think !!!!!

If you're storing all of them in one place, then you could try a tackle box. That's what I've used for a pretty long time, and it seems to work pretty well.
If you're storing them individually, you could try various types of Tupperware.

Where can i find cheap but quality beads?
Since I don't want to pay for gas & parking to go to downtown wholesale dealers, I buy online.
Firemountain Gems is great! They only charge $5 for any size order, shipped anywhere in US.
You can go in with friends to order enough for some substantial savings.
I also buy some unique, but not as cheap beads, from Oriental Trading co.
Joann's online is also good.

I design and make beaded jewelry. While I've had some success with my pieces (both the gemstone and glass beaded pieces), I'm wanting to expand my hobby into an actual business. Please let me know what kinds of beaded jewelry appeal to you. I make necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, earrings and toe rings. The rings & toe rings are still pretty experimental, but the others have designs well underway, and I've made sales in those areas.
Thanks everyone!
do what i do and just make what feels good to you and wear it so people can ask where it came from! i like the beading with wire around them but cant figure out how to do it yet.

I like to make beaded jewelry and things with charms, mostly Sculpey, so I was wondering what is popular because I might start selling my jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings, whatever. What do you guys like?
Just put a few things on artfire.com… it's free to sell and you can have up to 10 items on there at once, or unlimited for $7 a month. See how they sell on there. I personally have a store on etsy.com, I just learned about artfire. Make a good assortment and you'll learn what people want.

How much would you spend on a necklace, for example? Or if you’re in the business, do you make good money? I’m not asking how much you make. I just want to know if it’s worth looking into rather than keeping the horrible job I have now. To put it into perspective,I need enough to pay for college.
I make my own jewelry and I would not rely on it for income, I enjoy making it but doing ot in bulk and having too many orders for me was just too much! But take a look at my site its easy to figure out some easy opprotunities!

I've started getting into making beaded jewelry. I have had some trouble with tieing the elastic string at the ends. Is there any trick? Or is there something I can put over the knot to make it stay tied? Like a glue or something? Any help would be appreciated, I think everyones getting tired of picking up a piece of jewelry and having beads go everywhere!
To "knot" your jewelry get 4 crimp beads. At each end of the necklace, bracelet, ECT. make a loop (not a knot) and put two crimp beads on holding the loop together. Use pliars or some tool like that to scrunch the crimp beads flat. BEFORE you do that though you should put a clasp on one side (place it in the loop) and then put on the srimp beads.
Hope I helped!

I purchased jewelry at a local craft fair that was made with all-natural beads. I would love to know how to make them.
Here's a link to a site with instructions and a recipe for making beads from herbs. Enjoy.
