Your pieces are so beautiful and unique Zoraida. Thank you for sharing. I have not made any jewellery pieces in a while and seeing these have spurred me on to create something. Thank you.

Oops, sorry Beth…I meant to say “we’re always harder on ourselves than we should be”. It’s freezing here in upstate NY and my hands are cold 🙁

Thanks so much Donna. I’m really flattered. I’m still trying to adjust to our “new” home (needs lots of work). The beautiful, rural countryside is inspiring though 🙂

very sweet! Thats one thing I like about working in copper, and wire in general – you can really broaden your price-point options to capture a bigger audience.

Thank you ladies. I appreciate your comments. Sally V – I usually use 16 or 18 gauge for the earring frame, 20 gauge for swirls within the frame and 22-24 gauge for the wrapping. The ear wires are 20 gauge.

These are gorgeous, as is all of your work. I am a big fan! Would you share what gauges of copper wire you used for these? Thank you.

Beautiful wire work, Zoraida! People recognize quality jewelry and are willing to pay for what they value. So happy that the show was a success for you!

Having a variety of price points works! Many customers have a restricted budget, especially if they are looking to buy something as a gift for someone. Earrings are always popular.

I believe people think spending $20 or so is safe on their wallet. My pendants range in price from $22 to $38 and they sell better than the necklaces and bracelets. I can’t honestly know what’s going on inside their heads and what drives their decisions, but I really think it’s the cost of the piece and how it effects their wallets.

Yet, I do feature some of my more high priced and detailed pieces. They sell, plus show the range of work.
