Choosing responsible materials builds trust and protects communities. Verify suppliers, ask for origin details, and prefer recycled metals where possible.
Transparency also helps your brand story and SEO—buyers search for “ethical handmade jewelry.”
Invest in tools that won’t fail mid-project. Look for hardened steel pliers, flush cutters, bead mats with gridlines, and resin-safe silicone mats.
Maintain tools by cleaning after resin work and lubricating pivot points. A small effort extends tool life significantly.
Price = materials + time × rate + overhead + margin. Track actual times and revisit prices each quarter. Be clear about quality and finishing to support value.
Offer bundles and course coupons thoughtfully; never undercut your sustainability.
