Hey, I’m thinking of starting a new business to sell my hand made jewelry. I’ve been making jewelry as a hobby since I was a kid and I want to start selling it as a side hustle. I’m going to be taking a jewelry making class soon so I can learn how to make jewelry more professionally.
I want to sell jewelry that is geared towards alternative/emo fashion because I think there’s not a lot of unique handmade jewelry options for that audience (a lot of mass produced stuff) and I want to keep my prices affordable. I also want to include recycled materials in my pieces.
That being said I want to ask what styles of pieces would you guys be interested in? What do you want to wear (i.e , belt chains, necklaces ect.) What colors do you want the most? Also what do you think I should call it? 🙂 Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
red and black and some of the best alternative colours. Maybe purple too.
Good idea my room is red and black as we speak 🤣
well I make pop tab chains for fun and I have made monster pop tab earrings and I agree with the red and black color choices.If I were in your position rn I would buy converses and customize them for people like this
and since you want to keep the prices lower you might be able to to have good cash flow since shoes like that range from 130 to 3 or 4 hundred dollars.
red and black is swag but blue is an awesome color thats pretty & rare in the scene (due to the red & black, lol) and its versatile (u can put it on anything and it'll look cool imo!). in terms of jewelry i wanna wear? boot straps/harnesses are pretty cool, maybe those old school chain chokers --> like that one^^ (honestly all of his jewelry was iconic...2003 was one hell of a time) earrings are good too, safety pin earrings look cool. monster high made zipper pull earrings once.
sadly i suck @ naming things... but i wish you luck on this endeavor!!
I love making chokers. My collection is getting out of control 🤣
ahh thatd be so cool!! i hope it goes well if you do end up committing to the business. i think barbed wire themed stuff would look sick as hell. maybe barbed wire as the chain & then a sleek charm design?? like those plastic diamond necklaces or brass knuckle necklaces. iconic asf !!!
i agree w what toxicthoughts said above too, customized shoes would look sick. to cut on the cost on like... actually buying the shoes (bc they get expensive asf), maybe you can make charms or jewelry for the laces, or like charms you can pin to your shoes? mostly just spitballing :P
i thought of splat poetry as a name suggestion :p but idk im kinda trash w naming stuff haha
Yeah I’m getting some designs drawn out. I’ll probably post them on this site first so you guys will be the first to see them.
can't wait to see what you come up with
