Getting to this point has been an interesting trip! I have learned some things about truly creating a line including needing to be more consistent with my findings so I know everything will work together! This will be my biggest challenge to finalize with my designs but the concept is in place and I already have a new store that will be selling it!
While most charms will be one of a kind I plan on creating signature charms as well that I will be able to recreate. The charms will be priced from $3.00 and go up to $25+ but be more of a focal pendant and the base necklaces and bracelets will start at $14 and go up to $60+ depending on the design.
If you like a simple charm hanging from a bracelet or want to build an entire cha cha style charm bracelet you will be able to customize your pieces and change them as you wish!
Check out the new line at Katrina’s Upcycled Furnishing! They will be available at the beginning of April and available online sometime in May!!
And don’t forget that The Vintage Bead Shop is now selling on Facebook and open Friday’s 10-3 or by appointment for Locals and visitors!
Thank you to B’Sues Boutique for offering this course! It has been an interesting journey for me. Be sure to hop along the rest of the ladies that have done this challenge along with me!!

Jennifer, I like the concept of being able to change your look at will, adding or taking off whatever charms I have. You certainly have a great variety and the possibility of adding more as you go and this should keep folks coming back to you. It’s great that they can start with a low end purchase and work their way up OR start with a higher end purchase and choose lower end impulse buys.
Aurora Designs Jewelry said:
Jennifer, your charms are very pretty.
Chi said:

One of my favorite pieces of jewelry when I was younger was a charm pendant that I could swap out at will. I have no doubt the charms you are making will become someone’s favorites as well.

You’ve got some really cool charms here! I love that brass filigree with the green. And the round connector…I use those for everything! Your pieces are really unique, I’m sure they will do great in your new store, and that people will enjoy collecting them and adding more as they come out! congrats on your line and store!
