Idea for a home business… think it’ll work?
Question by Earth Song♥ Eli ♫♪: Idea for a home business… think it’ll work?
I found an article online that gave instructions on how to make jewelry from recycled paper.
It is very cheap, and simple.
I was thinking, since I am young, this could provide a little pocket change, selling jewelry online from home.
What do you think? My mom says, the way the economy is, it might not work. I really want to do something from home. I was also thinking about selling cupcakes or something in school.
Whaddya think??
Got any ideas???
Thanks!!! <33

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Just give it a chance. You really have very little to lose. It will only cost you your time should it not succeed. If nothing else at least it will be a learning experience that you can enjoy. Best wishes.
Try finding a site that costs nothing to list your items if you can as EBay can be a bit costly if the items do not sell.
There are three links below for sites that cost nothing to list.
Good Luck

Online course – Jewelry Design/Repair? Penn Foster? Ashworth College?
Question by Melissa: Online course – Jewelry Design/Repair? Penn Foster? Ashworth College?
I’m interested in learning how to make jewelry, using metal mostly, and I’ve thought about taking a course so that I could become more proficient. I know that I could learn a lot of basic techniques from free instruction guides and jewelry making books, but I really wanted to take a course since I figured that would give me a broader range of instruction.
I looked around online and found GIA, but I DON’T have ,000 to take a course, so then I found Penn Foster and Ashworth. My sister once took a course through Allied Schools, so I’m familiar with the concept of Distance Learning and she seemed pleased with them, so I thought I’d be willing to give a school like that a try, but I’ve noticed that there have been a lot of mixed reviews. It seems like it’s sort of a hit or miss situation, especially depending on the course that people take.
Since this is a course that doesn’t really transfer to a ‘real world’ situation (meaning I’m not planning on going to a job and saying ‘here are my credentials’), this is more for my personal enrichment, I’m not really worried about whether or not I’ll be able to get a job, I’m just wondering if anyone has taken the course and felt they learned anything, from either school, or if anyone can offer a better alternative.
I’m also planning on making Steampunk-type jewelry, which requires disassembling watches and then reassembling their parts, which is why I was thinking of taking this sort of a course, since the repair portion could come in handy.

How Do I Make This Jewelry?
Question by OctoberGirl: How Do I Make This Jewelry?
I want to be a jewelry designer and maker. I know I have a lot to learn first, but at some point I want to make really nice pieces from silver, gold, et cetera. Like bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. My question, though, is how do you create the actual settings? Like, if I designed a bracelet with leaf-like links that has never existed before, how do I create the bracelet? Do I have to make molds?
Best answer:
Answer by Michelle
It would be smart to make molds of every design you come up with, so that it doesn’t take nearly as long to make your jewelry when you mass produce it. It would also be a lot easier to use molds so that you don’t spend hours and hours on one bracelet, or painstakingly etch designs into each leaf.
Try to find a place that sells molds, or that takes your metals and makes the molds and the jewelry for you. If you can’t find a place, see if there’s a college or university in your area that has a Jewelry Design program, and see if they have equipment you can use, or see where they get their designs done so that you can go there too.
Good luck with everything! I hope this little bit of information helped!

more finding volume word problems?
Question by slimshadysback: more finding volume word problems?
how would i set up a problem like this?
A jeweler is casting small gold cones for a special piece of jewelry. She has 60g total of gold to use and wishes to make twelve cones with a radius of 0.5cm and a height of 1cm. If gold weighs 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, does she have enough to make the cones?
thank you so much!
Best answer:
Answer by bhagi
Volume of a cone: [pi*h*(r^3)]/3
r = .5
h = 1
v = .131 cm
.131 * 12 = 1.572 cm^3
60/19.32 = approx. 3 cm^3
there’s enough gold to make the cones

How much does it typically cost to have some diamonds set in a ring?
Question by causti4: How much does it typically cost to have some diamonds set in a ring?
Yes I understand that it depends on a lot of factors. So tell me what you have bought and where. And if the process of setting the stones wasn’t free, what did it cost? The answer to this question is not “you can call your jeweler and ask.” Thanks.
Ok I guess I need to add more details.
I plan on buying some loose diamonds from blue nile to put in a 3 stone ring setting at a local jeweler.
