handmade sterling silver bracelet

Where can I find necklace and bracelet length sterling sliver & imitation silver chains (or the kind made of chain linked tiny balls, I don't know what their called)? Also the black, suede-looking kind? Where can I find them all in bulk at a preferably discount price than individually?

If you can tell me where I'll appreciate it SO much, plus the 10 points!

You can get "ball chain" of various thicknesses, in many hardware stores in bulk quantities, with the connectors to fasten the ends.

As far as "real" jewelry suppliers, I have been very happy with Rio Grande. They have been in business for many years, and carry ball chain in both sterling silver and in non-precious metal, as well as many other kinds of necklace cordage. They have quantity discounts, the more of one item you buy the less the per item cost.

While I have not used them as a supplier, some of my friends have been very happy with what they have purchased from Fire Mountain Gems. They also carry the ball chain and cordage that you are looking for, and have a similar quantity discount.

Good luck

My mom makes handmade jewelry out of sterling silver and natural stones, and most recently enamel. She is always receiving complements on her pieces, and has had one bracelet featured in a jewelry magazine, as well as a few pieces in galleries. But she wants to start selling them on a larger basis, how could she start doing that? Does anyone know where she can find a representative? Thanks!
hey, thank you so much for responding, your answers were very helpful!

Since your mom has never had a business before, I would strongly recommend that you both talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you'll start a web based business or one with a store front. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.

The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a handmade jewelry business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.

You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.

Good Luck

Price: $24.99 $14.89

Handmade Dog Paw Print Silver charm
Compatible with 3mm and smaller Snake Chain bracelets
Design your own bead charm jewelry

Handmade bead loom bracelets?
Would you pay $150 dollars for one if you liked the style?
They are all handmade from glass beads and sterling silver clasps.
The swarovski crystal bracelets would cost a bit more though also. would you pay that much?
do you think other ppl would?
It would be a great loss to sell them for much less.

I need to see pix before i can say.

It looks like you are interested in making jewelry. I would head to your local craft store, like JoAnn fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. They will have supplies and directions to get you started. I would recommend starting small, until you find a craft that you truly enjoy. Personally, I like to make sun-catchers...and do cross stitch, and make wedding albums, and jewelry, I found all the supplies and directions at Hobby Lobby. I also make specialty cakes, Hobby Lobby has a great selection of pans and ideas.
Enjoy
