Hi everyone. feel free to message me too.
maybe aim a little lower regarding consignment. not jewelry stores but retail fashion stores, vintage clothing, there are even costume jewelry stores. I dont think some hustler going around on the street is going to be very good. Ive lived in too many big cities to even speak to the kind of guy who will come right up to you selling some necklace or ring or w/ever. Its too much like begging and makes everybody look bad. its a sketchy way to do business at best.
the aggressive hard sales approach might net you a few sales from people who are basically sympathetic/easy to shake down, but there are also all sorts of laws restricting such activities (especially in big cities) you'll get fined, your stuff will get confiscated, you might spend a night in the clink. its not worth it.
your best bet is e-commerce... all you really need is good photography (essential) and patience.
If you wont do that you could try flea markets, community markets, rent a table in an open air market as seen in most cities' tourist areas... but i dont see why you haven't put them up on an e-commerce site in the mean time because it is simply passive sales activity, you might get the odd sale as you angle for better opportunities.
Ooh. I didn't even realize there were laws. I noticed a lot of people in the city making sales on the street. I didn't know it was bad. Thanks for telling me! As for selling to tiny gift shops, I've been trying reeeaally hard! I never seem to find a small shop in nj or NY that has space for more jewelry. They constantly say they're overbooked. the aggressive hard sales approach might net you a few sales from people who are basically sympathetic/easy to shake down, but there are also all sorts of laws restricting such activities (especially in big cities) you'll get fined, your stuff will get confiscated, you might spend a night in the clink. its not worth it.

Why not just post it online sell it on facebook,amazon,lazada there are many online shop where you can sell your product..
or even make a simple site just for your own product..
I don't really know. I've tried that, and it takes too long. I didn't make that many sales online. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it sucked. Plus, this idea is way more fun. C: or even make a simple site just for your own product..
on top of what your attempting here, there is every reason to open an e commerce retail website .. the ratio of potential to installation difficulty is obvious-you can set one for maybe $200 which, hypothetically, could make you a millionaire
i would consider doing this for you, but i have no time at all these days + i dont see myself as much of a salesman.. you should check out some of my listings on here lol
Oohh, okie dokie. i would consider doing this for you, but i have no time at all these days + i dont see myself as much of a salesman.. you should check out some of my listings on here lol

I need more support, loves. Anymore people interested?
I don't understand why you can't sell them through regular jewelry stores? They all do consignment.
Are these necklaces not precious metals? If they are costume jewelry, then yes, they are a little harder to sell, but anything made from gold or silver would be simple to put on consignment
Unfortunately, every time I try to put it in a consignment shop or a gift shop, they tell me they're overstocked. I have terrible salesmanship, to the point where I can't even sell to tiny retail shops. That's where a good salesman comes in. And it wouldn't matter if they were precious metals or not. These are handmade one of a kind items with gold and silver plated chains. The only thing that's fake would be the actual stones. Other than that, I'm not worried! It all comes down to a good salesman! Something that I'm simply not! Are these necklaces not precious metals?
