I have sold beads I don’t use to other bead stores. You don’t get the best deal but it might be a way to offload your beads and make some money back.

I have a lot of jewelry making supplies (beads-including Swarovski, findings, tools, equipment) that I
would like to sell online in one or multiple lots. Any advice on how to do this?

I have so much handmade jewelry. When I try to sell it people don’t buy it. They complain that it’s to high. Now I am stuck with lots of jewelry and I don’t know what to do with it. I have cases and case of beads and jewelry supplies, tools, etc that I no longer use that I just want to get ride of and get some of my money back that I have put into it. How do i go about selling them. Desperate and need help!

Hello, you can get a wholesale certificate through your local Dept of Revenue Office. It’s called a tax resale certificate- also once you get those roseco.com, rio grande also. I am a jewelry wholesaler and designer.

Depending on what type of supplies you want to sell, you might consider selling quality handmade supplies like antiqued copper and silver components, handmade clasps, headpins etc. More and more people are looking for quality components to set their designs apart. Good luck!

Are you wanting to sell on your Etsy shop or brick and mortar? Congratulations either way – I know there are places in the country where jewelry makers don’t have access to supplies. The only input I can give you is I have a friend who owns a bead store and she has suppliers that sell only to shop owners or people with a business license. There’s also resources like wholesale markets, one that’s closest to me is the Dallas Market, but there again you need a business license to get true wholesale, in addition to sometimes having to buy in quantity. You might check into what it takes to get a business license in your state. Maybe someone else has other alternatives for you.
