Learn To Make Trendy Fork Jewelry
A rough economy can be especially hard for fashion industries and so it is the same with art jewelry. Art jewelers in particular need to be clever in making their wares not only distinctive but price conscious if they want to survive. Design originality along with excellent craftsmanship are essential during these difficult times. There’s a real advantage to riding out a wave like the current one of making fork jewelry. So, have you ever thought about trying to make fork jewelry?
Since the jewelry industry is fast moving, it’s possible to stay in step with it by consistently providing fresh and often, new designs. Any smart art jeweler knows that it’s just wise to periodically include new work into your existing jewelry line.
If you’re adding new pieces to your line, it’s also wise to make sure the new pieces don’t take too long to make. If you can work that way, you won’t have invested alot of time or money before you can get some customer feedback. That’s been a very solid strategy for me for many years. There’s nothing like the thrill of selling out of a new piece although it can also be frustrating since you haven’t more pieces to sell right then.
As you consider all of these things, you might want to take a look at making jewelry from utensils (a very popular trend). Mary Ann Cherubino has put out a most timely DVD on Making Fork Jewelry. A proficient teacher, Mary Anne provides great instruction on how to make fork pendants and bracelets.
After finishing this hour long video, you’ll easily be able to complete fork jewelry right away. You’ll learn to hammer, polish, bend and grind off rough edges very quickly. The DVD finishes by showing how to add stones or cabachons and then learn how to bend the fork into its finished shape. Skillful and intriguing stuff.
