hi! welcome! I'm no help when it comes to jewelry info, but like PP said those three ladies should be able to help you!

Maybe check out storenvy, etsy, and some other places online to see what that type of jewlery goes for in your area.

HI ashley and welcome to the group!

I make jewelry and sell it :) My pricing is something not many would agree on. I price based on how much the materials were and also based on how much I personally would pay for a piece similar to that. There are many methods on how to price your things, and many different reasons for those methods. you just have to find what works for you and how much you paid for your supplies, whether or not you will charge for time making those items and a lot of other things. GOod luck! If you want to see my site, let me know and I can PM you a link or you can find me in the marketplace forum under Melli's Trinkets.

I will pm you my links

be careful with patterns and ideas. some may be protected and you cannot make your own to sell. some patterns may say at the bottom for personal use only.

cool can't wait to see pics!
