I also consider fashion trends to a very limeted extent in my jewelry. And it sells so well just because of that! Nobody is going to pay twice or thrice the money for a handcrafted pendant when they can buy it at the chinese store for a dollar… uniqueness is so better paid! I use only colour schemes or general styles in order to fit the clothes my customers are buying each year, but I try to stay away from the general trends as much as I can – and that makes the jewelry stand for itself.

I also find trends go way faster into the jewelry making community… but customers buy things still that were highlights a few years ago. That is very important to keep in mind too! Some people only buy pieces they’ve seen their friends wearing after a lot of time. I still get asked for pieces I sold five years ago!

A normal person? What is that? I don’t remeber either LOL!!!!
