New Life for Old Jewelry

I have been asked since I began making jewelry, "Can you fix my old broken necklace?", or "What can I do with these loose beads that have been in my jewelry box forever?" And I have responded by evaluating the piece, or the beads, and basically giving a consultation on how it can be remade or revamped. Since this seems to be in high demand, and everyone has an old broken necklace lying around, I am now offering it as one of my main services.

Dana Saylor Designs will now offer a Jewelry Clinic whenever there is a trunk show or event in public. I may even just have an open night where it is the main event. In order to gauge interest, I will be sending out an email to my customer base. Please let me know whether you need something worked on! I am willing to incorporate old (including antique) pieces into new designs, restring a necklace, or fix basic problems. I am unable to solder or weld, or reset stones, but most any other issue can be addressed. Check out my website for more details at: www.danasaylordesigns.com . Thanks!

How Do You Say That Again?

Greetings, friends. I have been back on Etsy.com, the place to buy and sell all things handmade. Last July, I posted about 15 pieces of my jewelry on their site (each vendor has a little "store") and tried to sell, but nothing moved. I have decided, after much research and obsession, to try again. I think I need to be more persistent, and utilize all the marketing and networking tools that Etsy offers its vendors. I posted about 35 items in my store there the other day, and bought a space in the Wedding Showcase for tomorrow, Saturday February 9th. Check it out at:
