[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Awesome! Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@Nakitzalepotice]

I would never imagine it could come up to almost 10 times the cost of goods! Thank you... and you're right about how men and women have different sense for value their own handmade arts. Looking goood

[@christinasundling4450]

Standard cost to wholesale to retail..is cost ×2.5=wholesale multiplied by two =retail.

[@amandajones6481]

@@christinasundling4450 Thank you Christina for giving us the equation for working out the actual cost of jewellery. I made a pair of earrings for a friend of mine, and they were sterling silver with Swarovski tear drop crystals hanging from them. The materials I used to make them only cost around $20.00 (in Australian dollars, which is about $13.00 American) and I gave the earrings to her as a gift. Then, a week later I saw exactly the same earrings as the ones I made, except the crystals definitely weren't Swarovski, and they were being sold for $120.00!! So I've decided to make lots of pairs of earrings and sell them at my local market. It only costs $10.00 to hire a trestle table and you bring your own tablecloth and everything else you need to display your jewellery, and something to keep your money in, and plenty of change - because people never have the right money! It's so much fun and you can lower the prices as the day goes on, or go and look at what everyone else is selling. The last time I had a stall at a market, with a friend, we made $300.00 between the two of us, and we had so much fun. Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia ❤️

[@joseem2534]

Really appreciated. I’m a beader, since 1968, I just love love love creating. But it’s a hard market. We have to be very original.

[@KathleenWeber]

Thank you so much for this video. I started making jewelry nearly 25 years ago and have always struggled with pricing. My Aunt had her own ceramic shop and she told me in ceramics, you usually multiply your cost by 5 to get the retail value. Unfortunately, I was never sure if that value was transferable to jewelry, and I was too hesitant to use it. Now, after watching your video, I think it probably was still a bit too low. And you're absolutely correct, I certainly do undercut myself when I consider what my time and labor are worth. Sometimes I have felt that I had to give a family member a "good" discount, just because they'd expect it. Yet, my Aunt would just tell them 10% was all she could do before loosing money. Well, they rarely made a 2nd purchase from either of us, so I learned that you can't judge by what your family does. But, isn't it funny that friends will come back over and over again? When I started making jewelry, I was purchasing the silver settings and the gems, then assembling them. But, after learning how, I started making the silver settings myself. Well, I knew I couldn't under price those, so I took them to a jeweler and asked for an appraisal. I told him I bought it at a garage sale and wanted it's values for both, insurance and retail, because I wasn't sure if I would keep it. I then made similar pieces in different colors and patterns, but priced them all the same. I have one 18" necklace made from ruby beads attached by 18K wire, with an 18K spring clasp and ring. (Each bead has a wire with a loop on each end, attached to the next by a modified "infinity sign.") I was in complete shock when I saw the appraisal was $300! I would have never charged that much, because I had bought the rubies from a wholesaler with a whole group of gemstones. So, I even undercut what my gems were worth. Letting a jeweler run tests on the gems, is still the best way for me to know their quality and value. Especially when purchasing in quantity from a wholesaler.

[@KathleenWeber]

PS~ Otherwise, I'm using your method of pricing. Thanks again!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I’m glad I could help a bit. Pricing is tricky but as long as you are making money use whatever works for you. ❤️

[@bonnietraynor1133]

Wow What a great idea! I never would have thought to take it to a jeweler. Did you sell that piece?

[@tamaradelacruz3507]

Wow, I seriously undervalue myself and I give WAY too many discounts. I have an expensive hobby at this point. I really need to rethink pricing and definitely get more organized. Thank you SO much Kellie!

[@monjier]

Street Racing and Car Community is what you call an expensive hobby 😂 imagine your normal car maintenance except whatever needs replacing is triple the price and something breaks every 3rd month.

[@kellbellmichelle2979]

You know you’re right, when you think about how long it takes you make even a simple bracelet you realize that you take great pride knowing you made some beautiful, not to mention the patience that come with it. It was pointed out to me that I jewelry making has help me build some serious DIY skill, even if some of the techniques I use are repetitive, that’s some serious self value there

[@MsPancake02]

Wow!..I think the hardest part of jewelry business is the pricing of Handmade jewelry. Now I gotta go and change my pricing in my Etsy shop and poshmark 🤦🏽‍♀️. Thank you Sooooo much👍🏼❤

[@ligeiarumay3775]

Hello ladies I do not think is good to change price!!! The best way to do it is let the old price so and put new one at the good price now. Because it can scar cliënt away. Some will not trust you anymore. When it sell out you put new price but making it with some new beads and style.

[@alisonmacleod7868]

This formula is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you also for reminding me not to underprice my work and take it seriously. I've been making jewelry for years and charging too little. I'm already understanding my worth more fully. Just discovered you so I'm looking forward to watching all your videos.😃

[@Rubiastraify]

Yes, this is helpful. I do the same as you -- price out per bead/item, although with wire and such that comes in spools, I classify it as "Cost of Goods Sold". I've used some accounting programs in the past, which really help with calculations and inventory. Something doesn't come out of inventory until the item is sold, because in theory (if it doesn't sell) I could take it apart and use the items in another piece. Doing the books isn't fun, but it sure is necessary! Thanks for the formula - that will be helpful. And, I think you're right about how women undervalue their expertise and value. I've taken to charging double what I think the jewelry is "worth", and to my surprise, people buy the pieces readily.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I’m glad you found it helpful. 😀

[@michelecherek5392]

That's great to know, TOO! THANKS!💖

[@iluvdramarock]

I do the same when my piece isn't selling, I just take it apart it. I don't want to give too much discount because then I am undervaluing myself and my work. We need to change how we value ourselves.

[@marlupevilla]

Thank you so much. I’ve watched other videos on how to price but I would get confused mostly because people tend to ramble on and on. You are so good at getting to the point but still making it fun to watch.

[@Madmerebear]

I am just starting out on my journey of making jewelry. This video really helped, and as a woman, I now know I shouldn't under value my items just because I made them!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Awesome!

[@normabyrd274]

You make SO MUCH more sense than the people who throw together something and say "That should sell for---oh---$10.00. Make a LOT of those and you'll make tons of money.". I shop as carefully as possible but I don't buy junk (at least not intentionally, though once in a while beads or findings arrive that look like Target rejects). I've always felt my personal design and effort is worth more than something assembled in a machine shop, yet those people make me feel I'm being silly or greedy by asking a decent amount. Thanks for sharing your well-grounded knowledge!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Once we know our worth all that nonsense goes out the window. I left a high paying job to sell my jewelry so I wasn’t going to give it away. It did take some courage but once the money was rolling in I was more than fine with it! LOL

@@KelliesBeadBoutique one more question, please. The work I do is all one of a kind. I don't duplicate any of my pieces. How, if at all, does that impact value/pricing?

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

It shouldn’t at all. It might affect your labor as you are likely being creative which can take time. My labour pricing is based on knowing what you are making time and time again. You may just want to have a set price for the labor aspect on one of a kind. The other pricing will be the same as my formula.

[@carolynferrari1496]

@@KelliesBeadBoutique so, if I was doing a commissioned piece, charge a flat rate for labor and follow the formula for the rest? That flat rate is based on what I believe my value is worth, kinda like when deciding on how much to charge per hour? Thank you, for taking time to answer. I appreciate it. ❣️

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

@@carolynferrari1496 exactly. I have a friend who now charges over $700 for her necklaces. We did a test. She said no one would ever buy her pieces at that price. Once we changed the price it was the first thing that everyone inquired about. 😀

[@Poecilia1963]

Thank you. I have tended to underprice my work. This summer I randomly raised some prices (I do markets) and was really surprised that it made no difference, no one batted an eye. Funny thing, one time in the early days someone asked a price and I accidentally quoted a *much* higher price, because I was thinking of something else. They bought it at that price - good to know!

[@devronhellings3146]

I have supreme gratitude for your willingness to share your journey and the importance of factoring in all real costs along with perceived costs when putting creations into the marketplace. I consider myself an organized person, however, your recommendations for noting the specific costs of components is invaluable.

Thank you for coming up with this formula. I have been wondering how to price my pieces for when I am ready to launch my store. I was only thinking about the general price of supplies. I didn't even think about factoring in labor costs. This video has been so helpful, and made me realize I was really about to under-price my items.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I’m glad it was helpful. Remember your worth. 💖

[@queenbrooksie]

Great video, thank you. I will add that I really agree with the 2.5 (might even do 3x) for the cost of goods because one of the reasons is that your prices on the cost of those items likely are lower then normal because you are buying in bulk, or wholesale, so they are technically under priced to begin with and who knows how long you will sit on those components before they are used up.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Yes. 3 times works too to add in all the other little things you don’t recoup. 💕

Aloha from Hawaii, this is greatly appreciated. Mahalo and blessings on you for this share.

[@aimee-made]

This is so great. Thank you so much! I’m an expert knitter and friends and family often tell me I should sell what I make. But folks are accustomed to the prices set by major manufacturers who have “scale,” and who also underpay their textile employees in developing countries. For example, socks. Quality sock yarn is going to be at least $15/per pair (often MUCH more), and then, depending on the size or design, it could take five-ten hours or more to knit them. But no one I know will pay $200 for a pair of hand knit socks, even if they are literally the best socks you’ve ever put on your feet! I think knitting, as a craft, is just too labor-intensive to be monetized appropriately.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Very true. Some hobbies/skills are hard to monetize properly. I guess you have to love what you do and hope that if you sell it they will pay accordingly. Thanks for watching. ❤️

New Subber! Thank you Kellie! Extremely important and valuable information. Someone was just sharing on FB today, that they were not making any money and there was also a comment about the current economy, or possibly asking too much for their area, etc. Yet, I see people on YT doing live streams, and advertising their shops on Etsy. I see the inventory, I see how much merchandise they buy from several suppliers, and they are staying quite busy. I don't know what to think about this, and I don't want to get my hopes up too high. I don't want this just as a hobby. I want it to supplement income. Very much appreciated this video.

Thanks for subbing! It is a tougher climate but I think you just have to keep at it and try new ideas. That’s what I’m doing in my own business. Keeping it fresh and tightening up my numbers to stay aligned with the economy. There is money out there. You just have to find your customers.

Thank you! I tried to start a jewelry business but had no success selling, even though I used high quality materials and my priving was affordable.

[@tridrummond2079]

Big thank you. Now, I found I sold under priced of my products. Gutted. But will start again. You are right, woman always involve their feeling and ended up like me,.

Don’t stress about what you used to do. Just know moving forward you will make more money. 😀

This is the best formula and explanation ever 😊 Thank you!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Glad it was helpful!

[@krisbreed7473]

Thank you!!! I have definitely been underselling myself (or undervaluing). This formula makes SO MUCH sense!!! Thank you again!!!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I’m so glad it helped. 🎉🎉🎉

@@KelliesBeadBoutique Thank you again! I love watching your videos (I learned a lot of new tricks and styles and I love love LOVE all the Celtic knots! 😂). Love your new haircut too!!! I still can’t get in to see my hairstylist and I’m looking like a homeless person at this point

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Ugh. I hope you can get it done soon so you can feel like your old self!

Thank you for taking your time to put together this video. I've always had a problem pricing my jewelry because I don't know what I am doing. Many of my older beads have never been priced, although I have changed that. I have over 200 pieces of jewelry, mostly necklaces that are just sitting around our apartment. I was thinking about opening an Etsy shop but I'm not certain that that is the best way to go. After five years, we just found out that we have to move so I have to start packing everything up. I won't let the mover pack up that stuff because last time my most valuable stuff was stolen. So my hubby and I will be doing that ourselves. Thank you for listening to me and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Until next time,Merrill from the Beaded Flamingo by Merrill

I hope you find a way to sell them off! Maybe look at doing a farmers market type event instead of Etsy. Etsy seems to be a place to watch your hopes and dreams die. It used to be good but I hear nothing but bad lately.

[@jillwinn7399]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Friends have told me I should be charging more, but I had no idea how to calculate it all out. You are so helpful in every aspect of your business. Love your new look! You look adorable and I believe more youthful!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you so much Jill! 🥰

[@aliciachrist1721]

I was so strained on this subject with my work, thank you so much!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Glad it was helpful!

[@catherinestewart3240]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it I am just getting started and I didn't know what to charge for my jewelry pieces so all the information I get is really appreciated thank you again 😊

[@lesleywillis3650]

This was so helpful. I’m happy you did both retail and wholesale because I need both

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@jocelynlee5275]

That bit about putting your true value to the forefront really hit the spot ❤️...Very informative Thank you ☺️

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Fabulous! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🥰

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

Hi Kellie, I just want to thank you for your help in pricing. I have not been charging enough for my pieces. I think as you said that women sometimes do not value their work and time as much as a man would. You have given me the confidence to raise my prices! Thank you

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

You are so very welcome Michele!
