silver, gold，施家水晶，珍珠，淡水珍珠，买原料花了200左右，当然家里还有一些
水晶珠子，珍珠，wire剩余。
感觉这个hobby真是不便宜。
还好BF大力支持，给我买了书和一些wire，还不时拿我的blog首饰的照片跟家里人show
off。不过他是看见我有个爱好就盲目支持的那种人！ |

发帖数: 1105 | 2 的确是很花钱的hobby, 我自从迷上做首饰后, 前前后后估计花销快上万了:(((
还有最近兴趣有所减落, 要不然christmas又要借口狂买一通了!

做完了也不知道怎么用。平时都很少带的。又懒的卖。结果搞了一大包首饰不知道塞哪

发帖数: 351 | 6 我也使不热衷于戴首饰的人，平时戴的只有一条项链，因为不用每天拿下来那么麻烦。
不过我现在还是很有热情做首饰，还在起步练习阶段，有人喜欢我就送了，不敢拿出来
卖。

friends circle is limited here.... and
most of my gf has at least one piece of my jewelry.
have you think of going to craft fairs?
I am thinking of going there once and that's an excellent way of selling
your work and also getting feedback
from people too!
in harvard square there is an artist co op, and i asked them for consignment
. first there is a committee that
will decide (you will need to pay for a non refundable $50

发帖数: 2366 | 9 偶也花了快两千了。这还是在以前当学生和现在基本没收入的情况下。LG很支持，有时
候觉得自己太不懂事了...
话说，贵金属现在更贵了... 从银15刀/盎司的时候就等它降价，结果天天涨，等到了
18~19刀的时候所有网站的都涨价了...555 |

发帖数: 469 | 10 do you use gold filled?
i created some pieces with gold filled but the consignment store wouldn't
take them.
The reason behind this is, people will get allergic reactions with GF. So
the store said, if you want to use gold,
use real gold.... and I was thinking.... oh my gosh, real gold is really
going to be $$$$$$
so I am just staying with silver, no complaints...

嗯，偶现在绝大多数是SS，少量的GF。（最近财政太危机，都考虑往clay转了..55）
其实14kGF只要外层不磨掉，跟14k solid gold对皮肤应该是一样效果吧？而且GF是
supposed to 外面金层 last life long的... 偶觉得那个店就是吹毛求疵。他们要
vermeil吗？要记忆金属吗？MM说的50%，是价格的一半还是benifit的一半？太黑了！
偶gg说等将来偶们有钱了，他就去哪哪街给偶租间店面....不知道能不能有那一天，嘿
嘿 ：P

既然这样的话，那么大概他们说的是对的吧。但是一个人那么多耳环，谁还真可着一副
戴十年啊... @_@ （偶没耳洞，对此没有概念..） 偶本来就更喜欢solid的金属，不
过宝石的东西很多颜色偶觉得还是配金色更好看 ：（
偶store的事，过些年再说吧....orz 基本也属于day dream了.. ^^# 倒是你的dream
更浪漫些呢，同向往ing...
50%太TMD黑了！MM把东东放在他们那里卖的话，顾客是当场买还是问了link上etsy上去
买呢？@_@

发帖数: 469 | 14 one thing i learn from the jeweler is, if you use white gold in your piece,
eg, pendant, and pick a color stone
like ruby, the white gold will "dilute" the color of the reds. So usually,
they will plate a thin layer of yellow gold
in the inside of the pendant because yellow gold brings the color out more
vibrantly....
yes, about the store, let's add oil 向夢想進發!
so basically i didnt go with the the artist co op place. I sell at etsy...
even traffic is slower, at least u can
control ur own profit..

It's too cold to sit around nowadays!

loose stones seem to be more
