Starting Your Own Handcarved Jewelry Business

By Anna Gibson


A lot of people love wearing handmade jewelry. If you have an eye for specific designs and love working with your bare hands, then you can certainly start your venture at home. In fact, you may also sell online, find a store location or find a store willing to display your collections. When starting to wonder if you could earn from jewelry making, then the answer is YES.

As you can see, making jewelry pieces can be profitable and therapeutic. You can simply make it at home, work at hours you want, and be your own boss. Above all, it would be an amazing profession in which you add real essence to the people around you through the jewels. In short, handcarved jewelry making is a fun experience.

If you want to make this passion into a lucrative business, be sure you have the confidence, commitment, and knowledge about promoting business techniques. Most of these qualities are helpful in reaching your success and goals. For many entrepreneurs, starting a venture is quite hard while others find it simple especially when legal and financial requirements are being followed to set things.

One best part of starting such venture is choosing your jewelry logo or name. This is actually an important part of your reputation and image as the artist, who you are, what style you make, and define you. Therefore, when thinking of a store logo, it would be best to use an intriguing word or even your name that provides a great impression of your work.

There are famous designers who are known by their own name and you may want to go the route, too. Now that you have got an attractive name for your business, the next thing to remember is to register that name to ensure no one is using that logo.

Registering your logo or name is important because although you have been operating for many years under the logo, but fails to register it, anybody can register it and you will definitely lose the right to utilize that name. You can also check the web to know if anybody else is utilizing the name in your area.

Furthermore, even city or state has their set of laws when it comes to business license or permit. Therefore, to find out what type of licensing is required, call the county or city office. If you need such licenses, there is usually a form to fill out and fees to pay. Moreover, when you opt to sell your collections in another city, you may need a sales tax permit for such area.

When you started with your business, expect that in order to make more, you have to make jewelry that your competitors are making even if you do not love what you are creating. But the most crucial thing to consider when making such art is to sell the ones you truly love. If one is not enjoying what they do, it would be impossible for you to succeed.

Unlike what others believe, it is inexpensive and easy to start your own venture with all the financial and legal requirements taken care of. You can easily operate professionally and smoothly when the steps are being followed. And if one is already operating a shop but have not taken care of those financial or legal steps, then it is never too late.
