The ABC's of Jewelry Making

 I've always been intrigued with jewelers who make the process of making jewelry look so easy. You know the one's I'm talking about, the person who can take any type of stone or found object and within a matter of minutes create a stunning piece of jewelry with it.

Well if this sounds familiar to you, and you don't want to spend the next few days searching the web for the best how-to jewelry making video's, then check out the site I've found for you. It's a YouTube site created by
the great people at Fire Mountain Gems.

The site consists of 51 unique and informative how-to video's on jewelry making. If this site doesn't make you want to start making your own jewelry, then nothing will! So check it out, then tell us all what great things it inspired you to create!

Have a great day!

Ready for your Holiday Sales?

If you're planning to do any holiday shows this season chances are you already have your extra supply of product made. But if you're waiting until it gets a little closer to the holidays, you may be putting yourself in a bit of a bind.

On average more people today start their holiday shopping in the months of August and September, incorporating it into their monthly budget. With the economic decline affecting so many of us, we have all been forced to shop smarter with less money.

Having sales and special pre-Christmas offers is a great way to drive traffic to your booth, website or business. A free gift offered with every purchase is another enticement for your customers. Once customers have chosen to check out your booth, website or business you should always have a large selection of items there for them to choose from.

No matter how you wish to approach your holiday season there is no substitute for being courteous and respectful of those wanting to spend their hard earned money in your shop. With that said, we wish everyone a joy filled and prosperous holiday season.
