      Hello ladies
      I do not think is good to change price!!!
      The best way to do it is let the old price so and put new one at the good price now.
      Because it can scar cliënt away.
      Some will not trust you anymore.
      When it sell out you put new price but making it with some new beads and style.

    Thank you so much for this video. I started making jewelry nearly 25 years ago and have always struggled with pricing. My Aunt had her own ceramic shop and she told me in ceramics, you usually multiply your cost by 5 to get the retail value. Unfortunately, I was never sure if that value was transferable to jewelry, and I was too hesitant to use it. Now, after watching your video, I think it probably was still a bit too low. And you're absolutely correct, I certainly do undercut myself when I consider what my time and labor are worth. Sometimes I have felt that I had to give a family member a "good" discount, just because they'd expect it. Yet, my Aunt would just tell them 10% was all she could do before loosing money. Well, they rarely made a 2nd purchase from either of us, so I learned that you can't judge by what your family does. But, isn't it funny that friends will come back over and over again? When I started making jewelry, I was purchasing the silver settings and the gems, then assembling them. But, after learning how, I started making the silver settings myself. Well, I knew I couldn't under price those, so I took them to a jeweler and asked for an appraisal. I told him I bought it at a garage sale and wanted it's values for both, insurance and retail, because I wasn't sure if I would keep it. I then made similar pieces in different colors and patterns, but priced them all the same. I have one 18" necklace made from ruby beads attached by 18K wire, with an 18K spring clasp and ring. (Each bead has a wire with a loop on each end, attached to the next by a modified "infinity sign.") I was in complete shock when I saw the appraisal was $300! I would have never charged that much, because I had bought the rubies from a wholesaler with a whole group of gemstones. So, I even undercut what my gems were worth. Letting a jeweler run tests on the gems, is still the best way for me to know their quality and value. Especially when purchasing in quantity from a wholesaler.

  • @Rubiastraify
    @Rubiastraify 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Yes, this is helpful. I do the same as you -- price out per bead/item, although with wire and such that comes in spools, I classify it as "Cost of Goods Sold". I've used some accounting programs in the past, which really help with calculations and inventory. Something doesn't come out of inventory until the item is sold, because in theory (if it doesn't sell) I could take it apart and use the items in another piece. Doing the books isn't fun, but it sure is necessary! Thanks for the formula - that will be helpful.
    And, I think you're right about how women undervalue their expertise and value. I've taken to charging double what I think the jewelry is "worth", and to my surprise, people buy the pieces readily.

    • @KelliesBeadBoutique

      It shouldn’t at all. It might affect your labor as you are likely being creative which can take time. My labour pricing is based on knowing what you are making time and time again. You may just want to have a set price for the labor aspect on one of a kind. The other pricing will be the same as my formula.

    You make SO MUCH more sense than the people who throw together something and say "That should sell for---oh---$10.00. Make a LOT of those and you'll make tons of money.". I shop as carefully as possible but I don't buy junk (at least not intentionally, though once in a while beads or findings arrive that look like Target rejects). I've always felt my personal design and effort is worth more than something assembled in a machine shop, yet those people make me feel I'm being silly or greedy by asking a decent amount. Thanks for sharing your well-grounded knowledge!

    Great video, thank you. I will add that I really agree with the 2.5 (might even do 3x) for the cost of goods because one of the reasons is that your prices on the cost of those items likely are lower then normal because you are buying in bulk, or wholesale, so they are technically under priced to begin with and who knows how long you will sit on those components before they are used up.

      @@christinasundling4450 Thank you Christina for giving us the equation for working out the actual cost of jewellery. I made a pair of earrings for a friend of mine, and they were sterling silver with Swarovski tear drop crystals hanging from them. The materials I used to make them only cost around $20.00 (in Australian dollars, which is about $13.00 American) and I gave the earrings to her as a gift. Then, a week later I saw exactly the same earrings as the ones I made, except the crystals definitely weren't Swarovski, and they were being sold for $120.00!! So I've decided to make lots of pairs of earrings and sell them at my local market. It only costs $10.00 to hire a trestle table and you bring your own tablecloth and everything else you need to display your jewellery, and something to keep your money in, and plenty of change - because people never have the right money! It's so much fun and you can lower the prices as the day goes on, or go and look at what everyone else is selling. The last time I had a stall at a market, with a friend, we made $300.00 between the two of us, and we had so much fun. Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia ❤️

    This is so great. Thank you so much! I’m an expert knitter and friends and family often tell me I should sell what I make. But folks are accustomed to the prices set by major manufacturers who have “scale,” and who also underpay their textile employees in developing countries. For example, socks. Quality sock yarn is going to be at least $15/per pair (often MUCH more), and then, depending on the size or design, it could take five-ten hours or more to knit them. But no one I know will pay $200 for a pair of hand knit socks, even if they are literally the best socks you’ve ever put on your feet! I think knitting, as a craft, is just too labor-intensive to be monetized appropriately.

      Very true. Some hobbies/skills are hard to monetize properly. I guess you have to love what you do and hope that if you sell it they will pay accordingly. Thanks for watching. ❤️

    Thank you for taking your time to put together this video. I've always had a problem pricing my jewelry because I don't know what I am doing. Many of my older beads have never been priced, although I have changed that.
    I have over 200 pieces of jewelry, mostly necklaces that are just sitting around our apartment. I was thinking about opening an Etsy shop but I'm not certain that that is the best way to go.
    After five years, we just found out that we have to move so I have to start packing everything up. I won't let the mover pack up that stuff because last time my most valuable stuff was stolen. So my hubby and I will be doing that ourselves.
    Thank you for listening to me and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

      I hope you find a way to sell them off! Maybe look at doing a farmers market type event instead of Etsy. Etsy seems to be a place to watch your hopes and dreams die. It used to be good but I hear nothing but bad lately.

    Hi! Thanks so much! I started making bracelets to give as gifts and people have told me “you could sell these”. I have a table at a Christmas craft sale every year and struggled with what to charge. I have thought about visiting some of the salons in town but this stalled due to pricing. I keep a spreadsheet of all my purchases along with what each item cost to make. Didn’t keep track of time but that will be easy when I make more. Thanks so much as people are telling me I don’t charge enough…. Take care!

    I just want to tell you I'm such a fan. All your pieces are amazing. I just recently started making jewelry as a hobby. My son was diagnosed last February with cancer. I spend a lot of time at the hospital and sitting around thinking to much isn't good. So I started messing around with jewelry . I made bracelets for the nurses that were good to my son. They always ask what I sell them for and I just thought they were being kind. But as I continue in my journey I seem to watch more and more of your videos. Your such an inspiration to anyone who wants to create jewelry. I just want to say thank you so much for inspiring me to continue with my passion. If you had one piece of advice what would it be?

    Thank you so much. I love jewelry making and have mainly sold it on my own. Word of mouth from friends and family. Bead working keeps me same. I do sewing and alterations out of my home. It is why I have gray hair! I generally enjoy sewing, but alterations can get mundane. I have wonderful customers....And then there are the "crazies". People who believe if you can sew, you can do anything! Haha! Knowing how to price my sewing jobs and my jewelry has been an ongoing learning process. Not selling my self short and valuing my time and skills and getting paid accordingly has been helpful, not only to make a profit, but to boost my artistic self-worth. Good quality work is hard to come by these days in our throw away society.
