I'm really sorry if I'm posting this item in the wrong forum, but I was wondering if anyone might be interested in buying gemstone earrings. I'm not ready to do this as yet, and don't have anything for sale which is why I didn't post in the usual area for shopping.
But I have a large inventory of peridot, garnet, blue topaz, etc etc. I don't want to invest in castings for earrings if there are no buyers. My thought is to charge at my cost for the castings, stones and shipping plus a nominal mark up. I saw 6mm gemstones set in 14K gold for $120US (!!!) on TV this weekend. I think I could do the equivalent (or better) for 1/2 that price.
Just so you know, gold castings are around $25 per pair and sterling silver runs $5 or less for 6mm stones. Any thoughts about what you or your friends might buy?
p.s. moderator... please move this post as needed.... sorry again if I'm in the wrong place
