Having a line of lower price point jewelry can be very profitable as customers will often purchase several pairs at a time.<br />I like your production earrings and am happy to see that instead of cranking out dozens earrings that all look identical, you've chosen to make each pair unique with slightly different combinations of beads or a different overall pattern in the way the elements were put together. :)Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-71636502496014691282013-08-07T05:45:00.959-04:002013-08-07T05:45:00.959-04:00I sold a ton of these earrings at work so I know t...I sold a ton of these earrings at work so I know they are well liked. I originally envisioned a young teen girl ready to go home after a long day of window shopping and finding something in her price range. My Mom hit upon the stocking stuffers and teacher gifts. Basically, these are quick and easy purchases to satisfy all those urges you were unable to satisfy because of price throughout the day. The real trick was fitting them in with the rest of my wares- I think it works.<br /><br />Thanks.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-73801556842682196772013-08-06T12:49:10.310-04:002013-08-06T12:49:10.310-04:00I love it that many have an additional articulatio...I love it that many have an additional articulation for movement, but some do not. This is a very sensible approach to producing the kind of thing that might make a customer spend time in your fair booth, considering which to get, and encourage further looking at higher price point items. They are lovely and absolutely OoaK, in my opinion, since no two are the same. Nice work KJ!<br /> Marsha Wiest-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481754729084714643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-37134475218126685352013-07-31T05:16:04.055-04:002013-07-31T05:16:04.055-04:00Simple is the key.

The focal beads, however, are of the best quality. <br /><br />Sometimes there is not much variation from one earring to the other; there are other times when the variations are quite dramatic. It does, in part, depend on what the focal will support.<br /><br />I love my bead stash, it has taken me many many years to amass. What I wonder is will I ever have enough? Probably not.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-86769735342509443272013-07-30T11:40:37.233-04:002013-07-30T11:40:37.233-04:00I think they're lovely and simple.

I'm always surprised what a small change in color does when you present a couple pieces to a group of ladies. They each flock to something different.<br /><br />You also have have a bead stash larger than what I started with! We use the same containers, by the way.<br /><br />Great post, KJ! <3Vanishing Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634686005556883975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-73250892190294176272013-07-29T05:04:13.588-04:002013-07-29T05:04:13.588-04:00I must have written it poorly- I am making a lot o...I must have written it poorly- I am making a lot of earrings. I have over 100 earrings. None of the earrings are the same. Some of the earrings are similar, in that they have the same focal bead. I used to have 10 pairs of the blue and white focal earrings pictured in this post. None of them looked like the 5 remaining pairs. The 5 remaining blue and white beaded earrings are different from each other in that they each have different embellishments. Thus, they are OOAK.<br /><br />Moreover, my guess is if we both started out with the same focal, and our own bead stash we would end up with different earrings. <br /><br />Hope this makes it more clear.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-10038299935086456442013-07-28T22:04:51.124-04:002013-07-28T22:04:51.124-04:00Hmm...but then if you are making 100 of them, they...Hmm...but then if you are making 100 of them, they are not OOAK anymore, right?aneri_masihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363429426292603118noreply@blogger.com
