Spiral Link Necklace

Garden Patch Bracelet

I recently attended a jewelry party as one of the exhibitors. This was the first event of this kind I ever attended and didn't know quite what to expect. A friend and fellow jewelry artist had invited me and it was for a worthy cause.

It was great! The atmosphere was comfortable - wine and cheese, what more can you ask for. The wonderful ladies who attended were prepared to spend more than they would have at a craft fair and I had set my price point a little higher. A percentage would be collected by the host for this benefit.

This event was worth giving up some of my profits for! Not only did I sell like crazy, but I received orders for some pieces (prepaid in fact). Some of the necklaces I sold had been sitting in my online shop for over a year!

This is one of the necklaces I received a special order for. The same customer also ordered my Garden Patch Bracelet and a matching pair of earrings.

When asked what earrings would go with these, I said "spirals". When in doubt, I make spirals! They go with everything I make.

I love these pieces. Thanks for sharing your story on the party too. Glad to know it was worth giving a little in the beginning to gain a lot in the long run.

Spiral Links and Jewelry Events

Woo Hoo! What a great event to be part of. So glad to hear it turned out so well for you!

I hope it's an event you'll get to do again at a later date. And that some of the people attending will become your regular customers.

This necklace is lovely! Like three lucky coins, your spirals are beautifully suited to your romantically curvy chain. And the earrings are perfect for it!

I'm not surprised your Garden Patch Bracelet was ordered - we've all been admiring it over here. :) Thanks so much for sharing your great experience with this jewelry event, Zoraida - it's wonderful to hear.

Thank you Ladies !

Thank you Leigh and Rena!

Yes, the jewelry party was a fun and profitable event. I do hope to do more of these. I had no idea what it would be like and never thought I would sell much with my markup. So glad I was wrong!

Funny that you should mention 3 lucky coins Rena. I was actually thinking of the 3 of Pentacles in Tarot decks (which is one of my favorite cards).

Thanks ladies for your comments!
