Hello, I am retired now and recently discovered I had this gift of designing jewelry. I started taking classes online withen a year I was making jewelry. I ordered many supplies to sell to those who make jewelry. I started ordering gemstones and other materials from over seas. I want to pursue this new found gift but it is very competitive. I thought I would just sell materials.
