For compensating the shop owner, you might consider two different approaches:

If your work had been on consignment in her shop, you would be paying around 40% of all sales to her.

If you were selling your work at a trunk show in her shop during the 4-day event, your typical fee to the shop owner would be at least 20% to 25% of the total sales.

If for some reason she refuses payment, you could insist that she choose a piece of jewelry (or you could create a custom piece for her) as thanks for her promotion of your work. Most people who won’t accept money have a hard time turning down jewelry!
