Starter Kits & Guide for Upgrading Handmade Jewelry for Aspiring Sellers.

Service Opportunity Identified: A new bracelet maker is eager to sell their creations and is looking for feedback on the quality of their work. Comments suggest that their current designs are suitable for a lower price point but recommend upgrading materials (specifically, switching to glass beads) and doing some market research on materials, designs, and pricing if they want to earn more. This highlights a clear need for accessible resources to help novice crafters improve their product quality and gain basic business knowledge for selling.
