Are you considering a home jewelry making business, but just not sure how to get started? Continue reading.

One of the big errors that a person can make is to consider your jewelry making projects as home made. The word home made appears to downgrade your work or showing your lack of confidence in your work value.

Regardless of whether a product is made in a factory, a store, a workshop, an office on in the home the value of the product is being produced by a human being, not the surroundings. The quality of workmanship is dependent on the human being. Believe

Another error is lack of believability or doubts in friends and relatives who have complimented your work. Because of your close relationships with these people, you just think they are being nice to you.

Three tests to qualify you as an experienced or professional jewelry maker are:

1. Visit all types of business outlets which sell jewelry. Observe all that activity in the stores or shops. Notice the types of jewelry for sale or being sold. Do you make these types of jewelry with the same or better quality?

2. Public arts and crafts shows, festivals, and events allow you to roam freely comparing your jewelry making quality and designs with other jewelry artisans. Do you have original or a unique line to offer these patrons of the arts?

3. Participating in small arts and crafts shows allows exposure of your work to the public to get feedback from people which do not know you. The number of people looking at your jewelry line and the number of purchases is a good indicator of your jewelry popularity. Repeat orders justify your designs and skills.

The results of the test:

1. "I can do that" response does let you know that you know you can do it. You can operate a business. You have a jewelry line and a wide variety of jewelry designs for customers.

2. "I can make something better than that" and you do know that you can make a better quality piece of jewelry.

3. People are interested in my jewelry designs; I just needed reassurance and a boost to my confidence. I can keep up or ahead of new and repeat orders.

You are ready to open a home jewelry making business today because you discovered in your travels to the stores, shops, festivals, and events that you are a quality jewelry designer with unique offerings. You have the work space in your home and more importantly you have the motivation, discipline, and the energy to be a business owner.
