Hello everyone. I'm a young women interested in starting the best Jewellery business EVER. I'm in the research stage and would like to know what people want & Deliver exceptional results. 9K gold, Sterling silver & silver/lead toned chains are the features enriched with Swarovski Crystals, Freshwater peals & exotic beads.

You are on the right track about using quality products in your designs. But you will have to narrow your market down. If you try to cater to what everyone wants then your market is too open and competition stiff.

Everyone has different tastes and you won't be able to satisfy them all. So try to target the market that YOU would like to design your jewelry for.

As part of your market research you will need to know what is the profile of your typical customer (i.e. age, sex, location, interests, education, etc.)? In investigating your potential customers, you must consider who will wear your jewelry.

In finding the answers to these questions ask yourself: Who do you think would probably buy your jewelry, or who are you making your designs for? For example do you want to reach sophisticated, professionals? Young and funky? Everyday or party wear?

If you are using a lot of Swarovski and pearls what about bridal or prom jewelry?

Once you have identified who your customers are, or to whom your jewelry is appealing, you can then cater to the taste of this typical customer and seek the best ways to reach him or her.

The next questions now are: How do you plan to distribute your jewelry to your customers (i.e. craft shows, wholesale to retail outlets, specialty shops, your studio shop, holiday boutiques, party plan, website, etc.)? How will you inform customers about your jewelry?

Also in your market research you need to know what your competition is doing. You will learn more about what is selling where, to whom, and at what prices by carefully observing the competition. Once you have an idea of what you want to make, surf the net, attend as many shows, go to as many stores, and seek out as many other points of sale as you can for the same style of jewelry as you wish to market. Then ask yourself: Can customers easily get what you make from someone else, perhaps at a lower price than what you would have to charge to make a profit? Is your jewelry unique or is the market already saturated with the style of jewelry you want to make? Like I said earlier competition is stiff so your designs have to be unique!

Closes with a Spring Ring Clasp
black faux leather chord

Cherry blossoms danced across the blue sky along the coast. A young 16-year-old boy named Takuto was taking a stroll down the water and occasionally stopping to look at the sunset or chuck a rock in the water. “The ocean is almost flat today” he muttered to himself as he watched his rock skip across the salty ocean. The spring breeze played in his dark brown hair.
He looked up at the sky, shading his face as he looked at the sun. It was almost twelve. Although the beginning of spring had started barley a month ago his skin was already tanning. His mother had died two months ago. He remembered her last words to him and his sister, Emily. “I am sorry to have to leave you both so soon. But you must remember that I will always be watching you. You both are meant for something great. Far greater that beyond your wildest dreams. Your father is not dead, he is left me something before he left though. I never had the heart to tell you”
He grimaced at the painful memory. Takuto slung back his arm to throw another rock, when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. His arm dropped to his side as he squinted to get a better look. There was a young woman lying face down in the sand. Takuto dropped the rock and practically flew across the sand. He turned the girl over and she gasped as fresh air flooded into her lungs.
“Hey, are you ok?” Takuto asked gently struggling to pick her up. The girl nodded and locked eyes with him. She had a long gash across her forehead and blood was oozing out on to her midnight waist length hair. She was wearing a black jumpsuit that was torn in many places. Her eyes were a piercing shade of grey, like storm clouds ready to hurl lightning bolts down to the earth. A single anthmest pendant hung from a sterling silver chain. “Luke.” She moaned, her grey eyes rolled back in her head as she fainted. Takuto stifled a gasp. He tore off one of his sleeves and used it as a temporary bandage across her head.
He ran back to his village carrying the young woman in his arms. “Help!” he cried out. “Help! Someone has been injured! Help!” he rushed up to the town clinic and pounded on the door. “ALEX!!!! OPEN UP!!!! ALEX!!!” Takuto hollered as he pounded on the door with his fist. Curious people peeked out of their houses to see what the commotion was about. “Help!” Takuto continued to cry out. Alex, the village doctor, opened the door.
“What is it now tak-” he stopped short. “Who’s this?” he asked as he rushed Takuto inside.
“I don’t know! I found her lying on the beach!” Takuto gasped.
“all right, all right. Don’t panic. Now let’s set her down here.” Alex responded as they gently set her on a bed. “Lets see what we have here” he muttered as he gently checked for broken bones. After a few minutes he stood up, brushing his hair from his face. and declared “Nothing’s broken but she has quite a few cuts.” Takuto sighed in relief.
“I’ll help,” he offered. “Alright then hand me those bandages over there.” Alex responded.
After they cleaned up the young woman Takuto sat near by and waited for the girl to awaken. After a few hours her eyes finally fluttered open. Takuto walked over. “Hey. Remember me?” he asked. She nodded.
“You saved me,” she said in a honey sweet voice “Who are you?” she asked cocking her head. “Takuto, now what might your name be?” he responded as he got his first good look into her eyes. They where a startling shade of grey. “I am Kyra.” She responded. “Kyra” he echoed “hmm.” Kyra fiddled with hair for a moment.
“So what happened to you? When I found you, you where pretty beaten up. And I don’t mean to pry but who is Luke?” Takuto asked. Kyra paused. “I-I-I don’t know.” She responded, her voice quivering “l-l-last thing I saw was a flash of b-b-blue light.”
Takuto thought for a moment. “Well do you have any family?” he asked. “I don’t know.” She responded. “You don’t remember anything?” he asked, shocked. “No” she responded, her eyes brimmed with tears “I don’t know
lol, thanks! I'm "gifted" acording to my teachers. IDK why
I love everything japanese, and this is only my 1st draft, I just wrote it

WOW!!! amazing! (if i didn't know any better i would say you were my twin XD)
This is amazing! I love it! There are a FEW (not many at all) grammar problems, but other than that, I love it! You ARE gifted ^_^ and just a year younger than me!
I love everything japanese too lol.
I am working on a book right now, and I think I am going to use your approach to the first chapter... Mine is some what similar... In the beginning, a girl, Carmen, finds a boy around her age passed out and injured. She brings him back and he is hospitalized in her clan's village. I love how you started this story off!

I don't know where this is going, but, pretty dam ed good.
6th grade huh?
Well done.

Please use more paragraphs.
Too much running together. Some of your thoughts should stand alone, like quotes or lines.

Also, use more description of your characters.
Think of it this way. If this became a movie script, describe the appearance of each one, as if you had to choose a hollywood character to fit each one.
Describe height, weight, hair color & style. Clothing, facial features etc. Make each one unique. This makes the reader feel like they are watching a movie.

Description is as important as the story. Think of interesting books that you have read.

Some punctuation needs corrected, but that is easy to do.
You go girl.

I have loved reading and writing since I was in 1st grade. in 1st grade I read the 3rd Harry Potter book in 2 days. In 3rd grade I got a 6 (we have a writing scale, 1 being the lowest and 6 being the highest) on my writing exam. People always tell me I'm a gifted writer or, I'm going to be the author in the family but I am losing my confidence. I tend to write as if I'm forcing things in. This draft that I am about to show is my 3rd try at my intro. please sugest some things for me to work on. Thank you to thost that are kind to me! This is the intro of my book. Although this will be in 3rd person the story itself will be in 1st person.NOTE: I am a horribal speller so please forgive me. The tital of my book will be The Crystal of Time.

the name Takto is Japanese. What happened is that two people went back in time to save the world from ending. they got seperated in the time stream. The two people that went back in time are Kyra and her best friend, Luke. during the story Kyra will have flashes of her past. She got hit on the head once she and luke where seperated, thus causing amnisia. I havn't quite figured out how she remembers her name. I have a list oof characters. I'll post them if someone asks. BTW Luke and Kyra go back in time to colect crystals, each crystal controls some kind of thing that happens over time. this is waht I have thought of so far.
healing
moving
life drath
dark
light
change of feelings
learning
please tell me if you can think of anything else. What I mean about the crystals is well... you can feel arter time. moveing takes time. we all are born and die after a piriod of time, stuff like that. Thank you for your coments so far!
I'm kinda obsessed with Japanese culture. so I'm trying to merge Japanese and Western style together.

Hi. First, it is fantastic that you like you to write, good for you! It seems like you enjoy it, and that is great!
I have two children, too, who like to write and it is such a good thing see.
I think you will find, like all writers discover, there will be people all around you trying to give you advice and constructive criticism. Just keep writing. When a teacher or "critic" gives you advice on grammar or structure, consider what they say, but don't let anyone ever discourage you. Keep taking writing related classes at school and try to read books for young writers. You have lots of time to keep learning and adding writing skills. The fact you are writing as you are already shows you have talent!

There are so many successful writers who have achieved greatness in their own individual way, your own path, is your own story.

Write for school and whatever you enjoy, and pay attention in English and keep studying grammar skills. And though you may not be a good speller now, keep at it, and in the meantime learn to use "spell check." If your parents let you use "Mozilla Firefox" on your computer, which is much more safer and efficient than "Explorer," everything you write gets spell checked automatically.(and it's free).

Another suggestion, absolutely get your own copy of "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. It is a small handbook, a MUST HAVE, but it's a book which will propel you into the world of good writing. My kids have read and understood it, I am sure you will too. I suspect you will gain much from reading it.

Don't fret about rewriting things. All good writers re-write. It's perfectly natural and very few writers don't do numerous rewritings. A writer's words are a work of art.

Finally, read, read, read. To be a good writer, you need to read. You learn by reading.

As for what you wrote, it is great. I think the theme and your approach is terrific! Don't stop! You can always change what you want, if you want, as the story progresses. Take your time and enjoy the process! You obviously have a writer's "mind." Don't give up; you certainly have talent!!!

:-)
