Making Jewelry Design Forum

Welcome to the Making Jewelry Design Forum, a free service we provide for you our readers. Everyone is invited to join in. You don't need a member login, or even have to go through a registration process. It's free, fun, and easy to do!

This is the place to ask questions and share ideas or thoughts on both the technical and creative aspects of jewelry design.

In this forum we'll also discuss and share different ideas for finding inspiration, new jewelry making tips and techniques, creating your distinct style, how to make jewelry that sells, and what to do if your jewelry isn't selling.

Rather than answering individual questions via email, this will give everyone a chance to read about problems that others are having, and find out how to solve them. It will become a FAQ about making and designing jewelry.

The advice I give is only my way of doing it. Please help me by contributing to the answers. This is a two way web page...you and me. You can ask a question, answer a question or do both. You will become my co-expert on these questions by rating and submitting comments.

Important: If you do not include enough information in your question, we will not be able to answer it. Please be as detailed as possible.

This forum is for everyone to participate in, let's join together to solve our problems. The idea here is to help and be helped. The more the merrier!

You have the option to upload a photo if you want to show the problem. Sometimes it helps to see what you are talking about, but it's not absolutely necessary.

(Having a good quality image will help show your piece to its best advantage but, please limit the overall size of your digital image to 800x1200 pixels or under. I am sorry we are not able to help you with photographing your image --- you are on your own here. Google offers a free image editing software called Picasa if you need to adjust the size of your image before sending.)

to help and share their experiences, skills and
creative wisdom with other designers!"

High Value Jewelry Business Website Links

Webmasters, read this!!

High value links are very important for the success of a website. Many webmasters therefore entice in a link building policy by reciprocal linking to every website they can find, related to their website or not. We have reason to believe that such a policy will not lead to a successful website.

Instead, what a website needs are links from related websites, with a good piece of text about what the website is all about. In other words, a recommendation from one website to another.

Well, this is exactly what we can offer you!! Just write a short (or long, if you like) article about Making and Designing Beaded Jewelry. The article serves as content for our website, and we reward that with a high value link to your website.

Our guest authors report a significant flow of traffic coming from their article links on this Home Based Jewelry Business and Design Guide!

Special note: Your article will receive comments from visitors. The better the comments, the better it stands out between the other articles, and the better your link is promoted!! So, make sure your article has great content!!

Our Rules for a High Value Link

* Your website has to be about Handmade Jewelry or a site that can benefit Jewelry Designers.

* Write an article about anything to do with making and designing handcrafted bead jewelry. Related topics could include: different ideas for finding inspiration, design fundamentals, color, workmanship, the importance of quality, keeping a journal or sketchbook, the creative process, new jewelry making tips and techniques, creating your distinct style, how to make jewelry that sells, what to do if your jewelry isn't selling, etc. Great information that will help other jewelry designers in Making and Designing Unique Bead Jewelry.

* The better the content, the better the link!!

* Choose a catchy and creative title that will get attention.

* Choose a nice picture for extra attractiveness. (optional)
