Beautiful! I think it is a good idea to wear your creations when you are out and about. I always carry a couple pair of earring wires and pliers. (I carry a backpack) I just like to change out the earring wires when I sell earrings I am wearing. The customers seem to like that. The rest I just take off and sell. I live on a small island, so I take every sale I can get. LOL!

Due to where we are in FL our sand is a unique shade of silver. So inspiring to see it in jewelry. I also always wear my own work though I rarely sell it. Beading is my hobby and although I love it, I have never felt compelled to sell anything but custom orders. I give a lot away to charity too. Thanks for sharing!

My coworkers wanted to buy the design I made and voila!
I also make earrings and zipper pulls to give away twice a year to patients and family members at the clinic where I work.
I don’t advertise any info with the items. If someone inquires who made them then my co-workers will tell them. It’s a small way of giving back. Plus it’s fun seeing people in random places with my stuff knowing I made their day a little brighter.

I also wear everything I create at least a couple of times to make sure the weight/balance is right, that it doesn’t come undone or fall apart & that it just works. I had made a bracelet using a magnetic clasp & it came undone 3 times before I just took it off & changed the clasp. I also wear & keep pieces I really like. But if someone wants to buy it off my body, I’m okay with that!

It’s a wonderful thing to wear your own jewelry creations. I do every day, and I get many nice compliments on the pieces. I’ve also sold several items to, not only my friends, but to other people I meet, as well as members of my audiences.

So I did and a lady asked me if the one i was wearing was for sale? It was one of my “keepers”, but i said “Sure!, it’s one of my favorites. but i’ll sell it.”, and we laughed about it as i was unlatching it. I quickly thought, I could always make a similar one. She also bought some others. She was in a buying mood. So, from now one i’m going to always wear one and leave the tag on. 🙂

It does draw attention to my displayed jewelry. customers can pic. it on themselves when they see it worn. I’m 76 yrs old and they make me pretty & happy.

I do have some special ones i wear, that are definitely not for sale…my metal detecting momentos, but they work the same way…. People question them which peaks their interest in the others, and they hear my story of my finds.

A great reminder to wear our jewelry every day – because you just never know who might see it. I bet one of the things that drew the tour guide so strongly to your necklace was its artistic uniqueness. Also the fact that she met the artist in person!
