R.T.S. -- READY to SHIP - Get Your Etsy Shop Ready for the Holidays NOW! 77 DAYs Until Christmas.

Oh boy, Christmas is coming!

Black Friday

Ready to Ship Department

at Your Daily Jewels

I don't know about you other Etsy sellers, but I was caught  very un-prepared for last year's holiday season. I am not complaining, mind you, but it was crazy! And it started in October.  I had very unexpectedly high sales numbers and stress.


I used this image last year, laughing. But it was truly how I felt. It was a real case of 'be careful what you wish for". Well, it is Oct. 8th and now Etsy has those snazzy stats that compare you to where you were last year this time. Well, apparently,  if early indicators mean anything, this could be a very different  (not in a good way) holiday sales season (filing nails, with feet up). 

Black Friday Cyber Monday Shoppers

Many of you know I make mostly custom items  so it is not that easy to have RTS items stocked. But I started in beading and wire-wrapping and I miss making those items! So, I  spent most of September having so much fun, going back to the basics and filling my shop with the items that are ready to go. Now that they are made, I just have to list them. Ugg.


Here are some of my goodies in my RTS department. I have fifty more things RTL (ready to list). Anyone looking for part time work!

I hope its your year to be pleasantly surprised by more business than you can handle! I look forward to all the support and love of the Etsy community throughout another holiday season. I wouldn't want to do it without you, especially my JETS! (The Jewelry on Etsy Team) (Search "Jetteam" on Etsy - no quotation marks - for 120 of Etsy's premier Jewelers)

DIY = FUN: EVERYTHING You Need To Design Your Own Jewelry

My designing wheels are always turning. I wake up in the night with jewelry designs on my mind, envisioning  not only how  I will make it  and what the piece will  look like, but who would love it, and what it might mean to them.

I am really approachable when it comes to co-designing. Over the years,  I have come to learn that my customers have great ideas, crystal clear vision and strong intention when it comes to designing jewelry that fills their  particular desire/need.  It really makes my job easy, and so personal. It is wonderful seeing how satisfied they are knowing they had so much say in their final result. Their "intention" was met. This is so important to me.  We work  together to design a jewelry piece with great meaning to them; that they or their recipient will cherish forever.

Working with a designer is not for everyone. With this in mind, I have sections in two of my shops, Your Daily Jewels and Silver Initial Jewelry,  called "Design Your Own."  In these sections, you are free to look around at options for adding on to your jewelry design, on your own, without me hanging over your shoulder.  I include design ideas too, but mostly gemstones, charm bracelet blanks and necklace chain, leather, crystals, pearls, initial charms and lots more.

I can wire wrap a gemstone or Swarovski crystal in your birthstone or favorite color. What a perfect gift: a wax seal initial pendant necklace accompanied by the recipients birthstone. I would be happy!

Earthy, Wirewrapped Gemstones

Chalcedony comes in the most beautiful colors. You can add this to a necklace or create a lovely charm bracelet full of them!

Matte Gold - The Perfect Neutral

I love matte gold jewelry. It goes with everything. I mix it with shiny 18k gold and even with my  oxidized sterling pieces. Like fashion these days, anything goes, if you do it right! 

I just loaded  a few more pair of matte gold earrings into my original shop on Etsy, "Your Rustic Jewelry". I f you haven't shopped there yet, take a peek. It is very affordable and full of great and unique gift ideas.

This is my most expensive item and it is only $79. After this, the prices drop to $50 and some pieces are $15.00!
