So I’m gonna start practicing metal smithing soon, going to start with basic rings and engraving. Would anyone be interested in IE sterling silver rings if I make them?
Latinas are tricky though because some have a lot of white ancestry and can pass
Just like a basic ring with the symbol
Statistically, interracial marriage rates are over-estimated because Hispanics can be any race. Marrying a pure Spanish Cuban, for example, isn't race mixing. The only attractive Hispanics are the whiter ones anyway
@NITRODUBS I wanna ring
How much
@NITRODUBS Yeah a subtle plain ring with a non-blue dragons Eye would be great
That’s what I was thinking! They’d probably be around 35-40$ if I make them in bulk
Cool
@NITRODUBS that is very affordable!
My mom is making me a little work bench at her jewelry store I’m really excited to get into it.
Nice!
@NITRODUBS wonderful! family trades are great!
Finally, a non jewish owned jewelry store.
I used to know a cowboy banjo player who worked at a jewelry store
He was cool
😂
Hello
@NITRODUBS you could be the go to IE wedding ring source!
oh thats awesome congrats
Anything we can do in-house, and custom is fantastic
My moms shop has always been the go to for people who don’t like diamond rings or just want something affordable. She sells really gorgeous stuff and is gonna help me source materials
@NITRODUBS yea I wondered about the intricate problems of diamonds
their mining and hoarding
Diamonds really aren’t that valuable, their price is entirely determined on exploitation. I think they’re pretty, but I really don’t prefer them.
Diamonds are only expensive because they make them that way.
@NITRODUBS and the usual suspects control their trade, no?
All my moms stuff is sourced from the US also which is awesome.
is her slogan "No blood diamonds sold here!"?
i bet there would be a lot of people that would be into that. you could market it online, do you have an online store?
I’m trying to set up an online store for her but she hates the internet lol. She’s been in business for nearly 40 years
etsy, it's also free to join yelp
the marketing costs though
>marketing
i still haven't delved into that much for my business, seems pretty hit/miss as far as if its actually worth doing
and i don't particularly want to give the enemy of my people (google/faceberg/etc) my money
do you do any other types of art?
Etsy is certainly a great starting point for an artsy shop. It's free to setup.
