Making silver jewellery as a hobby is expensive, making a living from it is hard.
The price of silver and gold have sky rocketed from last year. In January the price of 10g of silver clay had gone up over £6 to £26.76.
Now for the same 10g of clay it is £51.95
20g is now £ 99.95 which you can see in my hand on the video.
When you’re making jewellery as a business you need more than just the clay. You need silver wire, findings, chains, boxes and other items. As well as a host of equipment and paying for hallmarking.
Pricing is difficult as some still view silver as a cheaper metal, which it is compared to gold. However, because of the inflated price per gram it is not always so affordable.
I love what I do, seeing people fall in love with my work makes me so happy.
Keeping afloat is difficult in this climate.
My pricing is lower than it should realistically be.
But I want people to be able to enjoy a quality handcrafted piece of jewellery that is affordable for them to treasure for years to come.
I am so blessed to have return customers, and talk to people who love my work. A HUGE thank you to everyone for your support, purchases, shares and likes on social media. I will carry on with my jewellery journey and hope you and many others will follow me on it ♥️
