I would like to add is that on top of bringing jewelry to display, if at all possible you should provide pictures of the process for each design you bring and have glimpses of you and your friend working. Then you can have those pictures displayed WITH the necklace/bracelet/earrings you have displayed at the jewelry party. It will give you all something to talk about – keeping the discussion on your work and the process. This will intrigue and excite the workers to learn and actually see glimpses of how they are made – which will make them even more interested in your work – which leads to sales and a loyal fan-base 🙂

Also, dry, rough polymer beads are beautiful too. In fact, that’s what I’m used to seeing, so don’t be afraid to only lightly sand a piece to get rid of sharp edges, but otherwise leave them untouched. I believe it will look more authentic that way, and cuts down on your time spent.

Don’t forget to come back and let us know how it all goes 🙂
