3/27/06 | Poll: Making Jewelry A Career?
Hello there, jewelry makers… sorry we missed posting last week. We are trying to get up to speed on various new site features as well as grappling with a potential upcoming redesign.
Here are the results from our latest jewelry poll in which we asked readers how jewelry making figured in their lives as far as career went:
The results were pretty much skewed as I expected. It looks like the majority of folks out there who make jewelry are doing it either part-time in addition to a normal job as just a hobby. But to the 25 folks who answered that they’re doing it as a full time career.. kudos to you! You’re in the big time now…
Of course, if you’re like me you might have chose the last answer, hehe. Maybe it’s not so true now, but when we first started out trying to make our own jewelry, it was pretty tough. We really had no idea what we were doing, and part of the reason this jewelry beginner blog exists is because of that. So, if you chose that last answer we’d just like to offer some words of support… keep at it because like anything in life the more you practice your jewelry skills the easier it becomes and the more you learn.

I found your poll interesting. We sell wholesale jewelry making supplies to many jewelry makers who make extra money selling photo jewelry. I would say at least half of our customers sell at least part time and a few are full time so your poll is very accurate.

I am looking for a company that wholesales photo charms abd photo making jewelry supplies. I am interested in making photo jewlery including the rings but I do not know of a supplier. I also have not found a technique for this yet. If anyone has info please share.
