How much should I charge for my handmade jewelry?

Written by Jewelry on May 24, 2010

I make jewelry and I’m going to sell it at my community center’s flea market. I’m 14, and I don’t use anything expensive when I make my jewelry, no diamonds, real pearls, or anything like that. But, the jewelry does look really nice and I think a lot of people will want to buy it. But I don’t know what to price them at.
Could you tell me how much I should price a…
-necklace
-bracelet
-earrings

Thank you!
Sorry I don’t have pictures but I just need an idea.

    Obviously, I think you should first work out how much it COST to make each item and start from there. I also think the prices should vary a bit, depending on the size, materials used etc. I don’t think people would want to pay too much for handmade jewelery at a market. Maybe you could get £3-£5 for some earrings, £4-£6 for a bracelet and about £6-£8 for a necklace. Obviously I haven’t seen your jewelery (some pictures would have helped). Also, you could try making friendship bracelets or something like that for little kids and selling them for like 50p. Alternatively, you could just suggest people make an offer and you could "barter" with them. If it goes well, maybe next time you could make a lot more jewelery aimed at different people and you could try using different materials to make more profit.
    Hope this helped and good luck!

    Check out Etsy.com- its all handmade stuff including jewelry. You should be able to get an idea from there.

    It would be helpful to see a picture of the jewlery you make. The basic rule is to sell it for MORE than what the supplies cost. That way you make a profit. I guess you could price earrings at $5-$7, bracelet at $8-$10 and necklace at $12-$15 but, it’s hard to guess without seeing the product and materials used…

    Good luck

    I sell my bracelets for $2 each if it’s just string and beads. if its metal beads and more fancy sdtuff like that then $4 would be good. You can also have “Season Sales” and so forth with prices such as: “$2 each or 3 for $5″ or ” Spend $10 and get a braclet (or earrings) free”

    I’m also selling jewelry. i am selling my bracelets at 2-16 dollars. it took me lots of time. here’s a trick. you want more money then lie. i used crystal like material and lied they’re real. i learned it when i got decieved at target. i thought the crystals were real, though they werent. you’ll get tons of money.
