I discovered I can actually SCAN the jewelry I've been making! So. . . I am!
This is the first in a whole buncha' jewelry I've been fashioning of late. The necklaces are all natural, using leather cording, stone, glass, wood, and bone. This necklace is leather cording, threaded with real wooden and black glass beads, and black coyote claws. I'll be offering maybe. . . two. . . of these, at RMFC. Thoughts on pricing? I've never sold jewelry before.
Also. . . whaddya guys think? Would you wear it? I'm really fond of tribal/natural jewelry, but. . . that's me. I need second opinions and the like.

Very lovely. I wouldn't say I'd wear it, but it's the sort of thing I might buy just to have. And pricing, would depend on the cost of materials, the availability of said materials, and how much time you put into it. Even that's not reliable. I can buy a $5 roll of hemp that makes eight or so full necklaces, spend half an hour making a necklace with nothing else on it and it can sell for $10+, add a couple of beads and it can jump to $13+. Just a matter of what you think it's worth to other people. I'd say better to work it like a garage sale. Start higher, then haggle with your 'lowest price' in mind. ^..^
Start with about $15 for the simpler ones, and about $20 for the red and green stone ones. If they don't sell drop the prices by $5 dollars. If they practically teleport off your table they are selling so fast, raise the prices by $5 dollars. After you get established then you would need to start charging based on how much you spend. If all the components together cost you $20 dollars and it takes you say....five minutes to put it together, charge about $25. But if it takes you like an hour or so to put it together charge about $30 for it.
