As you know a few months back, I handed over the sequined ornament department to my daughter so she could open an Etsy shop. This weekend I realized I was suffering from withdrawel. I love sewing sequins onto shapes and making things glitter. So I took a break from my work and spent some time playing in the sequins. After I finished a Butterfly for the project that's still being worked on , I was curious about what it would look like in a necklace so played a bit longer. When I was finished my granddaughter who will be 14 next week and a bit more mature than I would like said that teenagers would love wearing these , it was truly awesome. So I am pondering this. Personally, I love it, I love sequins, I love the sparkle and the sort of fantasy effect. But the question is, would normal people be interested in buying sequin jewelry? I know there alot of new fads out there so I don't truly trust my own opinion.
So I am asking you. Please give me your thoughts.....if you have a teenaged daughter would you purchase this item? What would be an agreeable price? Any and all thoughts welcome here while I decide whether or not to try it.
Well I don't know if I'm 'normal' but I think its beautiful! It looks expensive but I'm useless at pricing :) My daughter is a pre teen and she would love it
ReplyDeleteIt is GORGEOUS! With it being prom and wedding season, I think it would be a hit for anyone looking for something they just couldn't pick up at the mall, you know?
ReplyDeleteI think its beautiful and have no idea why you are even wondering about it. Its gorgeous! I dont do well with prices but I think its very very pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies. I guess I just wonder what people think of jewelry made of sequins because I know my taste is a bit off the beaten path. They would not be expensive. Our ornaments run from 3-5 dollars and all I did extra was add a neckchain of seedbeads and a couple of dangles off the tail. Nothing high tech involved so I guess this might be a nice addition. Thanks for the input!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear something like that, but maybe not those colours. I would wear it higher up on the neck. You can also do this as a hair clip - lots of people might like it as a sparkling hair clip or a brooch. I'd love it as a brooch.
ReplyDeletePrices. You must strike a balance between honesty and what you think people will accept. It will be handmade - so you will be charging more than cheap as chips 'Made in China' prices - right? If you don't, you will not be valuing your lovely work and lovering your self respect. If you charge $3 for these you could be hounded out of town!
Thank you Whskr! You have given me some great info to think about.
