Jewelry selling is really tough on Etsy... there is just so much of it that folks have a tough time navigating to find what they really want. Sometimes joining an Etsy Team helps with promotion (I have one that I make a Treasury for once a week and it seems to get me views/etc).
Never give up, never surrender!!

Yikes, you are just a short week to late with this post. We could have given you a little help recently.
We had a contest going in one of the groups, and as it was posted under my name, all the messages came through my account. There was a lot of inquiries for cabs on sale, for most of the competing participants.
I'm sure you could have had the same as I know you would have thrown a fantastic shield-shaped cab into the fry.

That is beautiful, hope it sells for you. I have been working on adding things to my facebook page and putting up more sales information on each item although it is slow going. I don't see anywhere else right now but I too am not getting any bites. I don't have a lot of likes of my page plus I don't have a wide friends base either. whats your facebook page's adress? Roy, if you are asking for mine it is www.facebook.com/pages/Diane-Hilliard-Jewelry-Designs/119322584812050?ref=hlHope you don't mind me posting mine on your thread John. I did go to your page and liked it so hope that helps you. |

Good idea to add your store here, I never would have found it otherwise. You have some nice things there very reasonably priced. You state, "I specialize in expertly cut custom cabochons" you do nice work, why not add some cabs for sale? I hope it works out well for you, keep us posted.

Rich ( pghram) I was trying to sell cabs in a cab-specific group on FB and I realized that if I sell the cabs I lose a big chunk of the final sale price (no one bit when I tried either). I have a couple on my Facebook page with no bites yet. I may put some on Etsy as I get a larger inventory or if anything starts to sell. Thanks for checking it out! |

Are you in the Facebook Lapidary group? Get in there and show some of your work off. That`s where the contest was based with the shields. Go to DF/W Rock Swap Club join the group and advertise your work there. My wife is our best advertisement. She wears a different stone everyday and makes the other women want what she has! lol Your work is looking great! I haven`t been here much in awhile now. Time is scarce most days.

Yes I'm in the FB Lapidary group. My wife has more of my jewelry than Fort Knox has gold bars... I hear you on time, not enough of it, or I'm not spending it right anyhow  |
