Members need to have a professional-looking shop with excellent photography, accurate and well written product descriptions, and responsible shop policies. Your shop should have more than a page of items for sale, and should not under-price or undervalue your work.
Your items should stand apart from the crowd; we are looking for artists with their own well-developed, distinct styles.
We serve the discerning buyer who seeks lasting quality. To that end, we only accept artists who work primarily in solid metals such as silver, gold, copper, and brass. “Disposable” materials such as plated metals and plastic beads are not encouraged. Lampwork beads used should be high-quality, individually crafted and kiln annealed, not mass-produced. Glues and adhesives should never be used unless such use is the accepted standard within the fine jewelry industry (for example, the use of epoxy to secure half-drilled pears to posts is acceptable). With rare exception, your products need to be able to handle exposure to water. Your products need to be designed to stand the test of time.
This team is intended primarily for makers of finished jewelry, not components or supplies. However, it could be open to, for example, lampwork artists who sell a substantial number of ready to wear pendants and earrings in addition to loose beads.
We strongly encourage members of our team to ship internationally.
