			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is almost over and <a title="Handcrafted Jewelry, Handmade Jewelry, Unique Wholesale Jewelry" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry" target="_blank">handcrafted jewelry</a> artisans are beginning to plan for the spring and summer arts and crafts shows. Here are some tips to increase your handmade jewelry sales at craft shows.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Handmade-Earrings"><img title="Handmade Earrings, Handcrafted Jewelry, Horse Jewelry Earrings" src="http://www.copperreflections.com/product_images/handmade-earrings-animal-jewelry-horse-earrings-CN-35.jpg" alt="Handmade Earrings, Handcrafted Jewelry, Horse Jewelry Earrings" width="200" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Handmade Earrings, Handcrafted Jewelry, Horse Jewelry Earrings</p></div>
<p>With over 25 years of experience selling handcrafted jewelry at craft fairs there are many important marketing techniques that many people overlook. These are simple ways to increase your sales of handmade earrings and unique bracelets that are only learned from years of participating in shows. When displaying your handmade jewelry pay special attention to what catches the eye of your customers, where they enter the booth and when they leave your booth. Use these clues to know which areas need improvement.</p>
<p>The set up of your booth should be welcoming and open. Many exhibitors make the mistake of putting a table at the front of their booth. Try setting up tables in a u-shape so that people can come into your booth. Booth space is small so you must use every inch wisely.</p>
<p>Always welcome people into your booth, being friendly and sincere will increase your sales. People come to craft shows to meet the artist so each handmade jewelry piece has special meaning when they have talked to the artist.</p>
<p>Lighting is very important. Craft shows are known for poor lighting so you must use extra lights to make sure your booth stands out from the crowd. Well placed lighting can make an incredible difference in your sales.</p>
<p>Group your items so people looking for certain designs will easily find the matching <a title="Handmade Bracelets, Unique Bracelets Wholesale by Copper Reflections" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets" target="_blank">handmade bracelets</a> and handcrafted necklaces for the handmade earrings they have chosen.</p>
<p> Make sure to have a mirror close at hand. Ladies love to hold up the handmade earrings close to their ears to see how they will look when worn.</p>
<p> Along the same lines, wear your own handmade jewelry. People love to see how the handmade earrings and handmade bracelets look like on. Many times sales are made of the same items you are wearing at the craft show.</p>
<p> If there is a break in the traffic, have some work ready. Nothing attracts people to your booth then seeing you making the handcrafted jewelry right there. Carry a box with some tools, supplies as well as handmade earrings and handmade bracelets pieces. People who stop to watch will soon become customers.</p>
<p> This tip goes without saying but it is included only to be complete. Do not ever read a book or newspaper at a craft show. There is nothing worse or will make a customer run away faster than reading a book.</p>
<p>Every little detail counts when displaying <a title="Handmade Jewelry, Handcrafted Jewelry, Wholesale Jewelry by Copper Reflections" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/" target="_blank">handmade jewelry</a> at craft shows. Have your handcrafted jewelry sales been less than you hoped? Try a few of these tips and see the dramatic effects small details can have on handcrafted jewelry and handmade gifts sales.</p>

<p>There are so many reasons why a person would buy handmade jewelry for herself or as a special gift for someone. The main reason is that they would be looking for something unique, something unusual, a jewelry gift that is rare to see everywhere. They might be buying that handcrafted jewelry piece for themselves or for a special present, maybe a birthday gift, anniversary gift or Christmas gift. By choosing the most unique handmade jewelry will make the person happy knowing that you have put an extra effort into choosing the perfect gift. A unique handmade jewelry piece could be beautiful <a title="Handmade Bracelets, Handcrafted Jewelry, Unique Bracelets" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets" target="_blank">handmade bracelets</a>, handmade earrings or handcrafted necklaces which will be cherished by someone as a special treasure for years. This unique jewelry will be enjoyed and considered as a precious memory. If it is a special jewelry gift that you are giving to your friends, it will also make you happy to see your friends smiling and happy when they receive this unique handmade jewelry that you searched for a long time to find.</p>
<p>We know that mass produced fashion jewelry and costume jewelry does not give the same satisfaction as unique handcrafted jewelry would give. Mass produced fashion earrings and fashion bracelets can be easily be seen everywhere so it is not really unique. Also, mass produced jewelry items are all made in a hurry, with the only purpose to make profit for the manufacturers. They really do not reflect the thoughts and care of the artisans. To make a handcrafted artisan jewelry piece takes lots of designing, planning, skill, talent and care. These essential elements are what make the artisans <a title="Handmade Jewelry, Handcrafted Jewelry, Wholesale Jewelry" href=" http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry" target="_blank">handmade jewelry</a> different from the mass produced ones. Unique handmade jewelry pieces become the reflection of the designers soul as these creations of jewelry become the pride of life for the artisan. The compliments and enjoyment of people for the artisan jewelry pieces becomes the main push to create even better and more unique jewelry designs. Patterns, designs, creations become fundamental and timeless with individual creations.</p>
<p>There are so many reasons why a gift shop owner would buy handmade jewelry and handcrafted jewelry for his her gift store. The most important reason is that they are looking for unique jewelry and unusual gifts to sell to customers who always look for something different. Especially the regular customers of a gift shop might be coming back if the shop has new unique gifts and handmade jewelry all the time. Customers of the gift shop might be buying that handmade jewelry piece for themselves or for a present, maybe a birthday gift, anniversary gift or it could be a Christmas gift. By choosing the most unusual and most original handmade jewelry and <a title="Wholesale Jewelry, Handmade Jewelry, Handcrafted Jewelry" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/" target="_blank">wholesale jewelry</a> shows how much they care for their customers. Unique handmade jewelry will attract more customers as they are unusual and can not be seen everywhere.</p>

This wondrous chemical compound oxidizes many different metals creating fantastic colors on your handmade earrings and unique bracelets making your handcrafted jewelry extraordinary.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_436" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 166px"><a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Handmade-Earrings"><img class="size-full wp-image-436" title="Handcrafted Jewelry-Handmade Earrings" src="http://copperreflections.com/handmade-jewelry-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/handmade-jewelry-handmade-earrings-P13.jpg" alt="Handmade earrings, Handcrafted jewelry by Copper Reflections offer unique copper earrings with green patina" width="156" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Handmade earrings, Handcrafted jewelry, Unique Earrings with green patina</p></div>
<p>Creating incredible layers of color on your handmade jewelry is easily achieved with the use of Liver of sulfur. This wondrous chemical compound oxidizes many different metals creating fantastic colors on your handmade earrings and unique bracelets making your <a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry">handmade jewelry</a> extraordinary. The varieties of colors that can be achieved are incredible ranging from gold to black and everything in between. No other chemical can produce such wide-ranging color patterns on the surface of a variety of metals including silver and copper jewelry.</p>
<p>Working in a well ventilated area is a definite must, outdoors is preferable. The odor of rotten eggs given off by liver of sulfur can be overwhelming if used in a closed area. It is easy to be put off by the smell but the results that can be achieved are simply amazing.</p>
<p>Liver of sulfur comes in two types. The liquid form can be used straight from the bottle, but the shelf life is unpredictable even when stored in a cool, dark place. Solid liver of sulfur is usually sold in small chunks, which are mixed as needed. For this reason, it is better to buy small amounts of the solid and make your solution mixing only what you need to create the most beautiful handcrafted jewelry.</p>
<p>For your solution, put a 1cm or 1/4 inch clump of solid liver of sulfur in a glass or plastic container with about 1 cup of water. The color of the solution should be a very pale yellow. A strong solution will develop the colors too quickly to stop the process at your desired color while too weak of a solution can take too long and build a thick flaky crust. Experiment to find the best concentration for the metal you are working with to get the results you want.</p>
<p>Set up your workstation so you can easily go from one step to the next. Have a heat source, the liver of sulfur solution, cold water bath and finally a soapy baking soda rinse. The secret is to control the process is the solution strength and the temperature. The hotter solution will react more quickly and the colors will move faster from one color to the next. They roughly go from gold, pink, blue, purple, gray and finally black.</p>
<p>Before you begin, your metal handcrafted jewelry piece should be clean and free from dirt or oils from your hands. Wearing gloves throughout the process is preferable. Liver of sulfur will begin to react the instant you put <a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets">handmade bracelets</a> or handmade earrings into it. Let the color develop for a couple of seconds on the handmade jewelry piece, then put in the cold water to stop the patina forming. Repeat these steps until you reach the desired color. Finally, rinse the piece in soapy baking soda solution to remove any liver of sulfur residue that could continue to change the color of the patina. Do not rub the handcrafted jewelry piece with the baking soda mixture as any abrasive will damage the patina finish you have worked hard to create.</p>
<p>Liver of sulfur produces a patina finish on metal handmade jewelry but if not treated the effects will wear over time. Use a clear lacquer finish to protect your handmade earrings and handmade bracelets with their new patina finish. Be adventurous and watch how a little color can change your <a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/">handcrafted jewelry</a> into a masterpiece!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_425" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets"><img class="size-full wp-image-425" title="handmade-jewelry-handmade-bracelets-BR27" src="http://copperreflections.com/handmade-jewelry-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/handmade-jewelry-handmade-bracelets-BR27.jpg" alt="Hummingbird Bracelets, Handmade Bracelets, Unique Handcrafted Jewelry in Hummingbird themes" width="200" height="97" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hummingbird Bracelets, Handmade Bracelets, Unique Handcrafted Jewelry in Hummingbird themes</p></div>
<p>According to Native legends, the hummingbird is the joyful messenger and healer. When the hummingbird appears in a time of great sorrow and pain, healing will soon follow. It is said that when a hummingbird hovers near, you will receive a message of healing. Wearing <a title="Hummingbird Jewelry, Hummingbird Earrings, Hummingbird Bracelets" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Animal-Jewelry/hummingbird-jewelry.htm" target="_blank">hummingbird jewelry</a> will make you feel happy and peaceful. Many people will compliment you on your handmade jewelry so here is a story about why the hummingbird holds a special place in our hearts.</p>
<p>A literal messenger of joy, this beautiful tiny bird, also called Sah Sen, represents friendship, playfulness, and is a symbol of good luck in Northwest Coastal Native art. It is a positive sign to see Sah Sen prior to a major event such as hunting or traveling to another village. Hummingbird&#8217;s ability to hover back and forth at great speeds is believed to be a skill for guiding the people; if they fall behind Hummingbird can easily back up to keep pace.</p>
<p>One story of Hummingbird tells of a warm, spring day. Summer was coming and the wild flowers were in full blossom. A young girl and her mother waded through the green grass, enjoying the bright colors. They stopped as Hummingbird joined them; buzzing and darting from flower to flower.</p>
<p>The little creature fascinated the child. She asked, &#8220;Why does such a tiny bird want to fly so fast? Why doesn&#8217;t it just stay at one flower instead of visiting every one?&#8221; Her mother sat down on a hill overlooking the field and said, &#8220;Let me tell you the story of Hummingbird.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many years ago there was a fragrant flower that rose every spring to display her beautiful petals and bright colors for all the world&#8217;s creatures to enjoy. The people and animals waited anxiously each spring for this special flower to appear. On that day they knew the warm, kind rays of summer had arrived. Raven saw how much joy this flower brought to the world, so the next spring when it appeared, he transformed it into a tiny bird. The bird had the colors of the green spring grass and the flashing red of a setting sun. Raven gave the bird a special gift to fly like sunlight flickering through tall trees. He also gave it a message to take to all the flowers. That&#8217;s why today we see Hummingbird buzzing from flower to flower, whispering a message. Hummingbird is thanking each flower for making our world a more beautiful place.</p>
<p>The mother looked at her child and said, &#8220;As you grow up, remember that like each flower, each person has gifts to give the world. In return that person will be thanked by the birds, animals and flowers for helping to make our world a better place for every one.&#8221;</p>
<p>The above story is as told by Robert James Challenger in the book Eagle&#8217;s Reflections and other Northwest Coast Stories available at Hill&#8217;s Native Art in Tofino, British Columbia. They have been our valued customers for many years and carry a wide selection of our work including our hummingbird jewelry and Native American jewelry.</p>

Being a soft metal and taking an easy shape made copper more versatile for making kitchen ware as well. We always admire the fascinating copper bowls, vases and jars in museums that were found in historical places from over 2,000 years ago. Because copper keeps water cold it was made into water jars and it was great a metal to cook in so many pots were discovered. Copper has been always one of the most functional metals.</p>
<p>Copper has been celebrated as a precious metal for centuries. Copper has often been used for its beauty and luster to create ornaments, <a title="Handmade earrings, unique earrings, wholesale earrings" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Handmade-Earrings" target="_blank">handmade earrings</a>, handmade bracelets, necklaces, rings, other handmade jewelry and unique gifts. Most people like the warm glow of copper for their unique jewelry and handcrafted jewelry pieces as copper&#8217;s beautiful earthy tone also gives a soothing and comforting effect.</p>
<p>Copper also made a great metal for making handmade jewelry and handcrafted unique jewelry by hammering, bending and giving different textures. Copper is the base metal for most of the elegant enamel and cloisonne jewelry that has been made for centuries. You can find these gorgeous enamel unique jewelry pieces in museums and the most expensive jewelry stores throughout Europe and in North America. Copper jewelry gained more importance as jewelry once the health benefits were discovered. Handmade bracelets, handmade rings, handmade earrings became more available and sought after. Copper absorbs the negative ions from the body and relieves the pains that arthritis and rheumatism cause. Some copper jewelry is also available with magnets to help relieve the pain more.</p>
<p>There is also another way of making copper jewelry that is very fascinating. This <a title="Handmade jewelry, unique handcrafted jewelry, wholesale jewelry" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry" target="_blank">unique handmade jewelry</a> was originated from an old Turkish art that goes back centuries. Handmade jewelry pieces are individually handcrafted in a process of many different steps in order to achieve very special unique jewelry. Animal jewelry, wildlife jewelry and Native American jewelry designs are drawn by hand and transferred onto copper. These unique horse jewelry, dolphin jewelry, hummingbird jewelry and dragonfly jewelry designs are then silver plated. To give a contrast between silver and copper, black color is used in between to separate these two parts of metal color. To highlight all these exceptional unique jewelry pieces, parts of the cat jewelry, wolf jewelry and nature jewelry is diamond cut. Diamond cut is done by hand and requires highly skilled craftsmanship that can only be obtained by years of training. Diamond cut, also known as bright cut, makes the copper jewelry, copper <a title="Handmade bracelets, unique bracelets, copper bracelets" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets/Handmade-Bracelets" target="_blank">handmade bracelets</a>, rings, earrings and necklaces look very valuable and expensive.

Most people who like handmade jewelry and handcrafted jewelry appreciate all the skilled work that goes into this handcrafted artisan jewelry and they always cherish their handmade unique jewelry, value them and enjoy them for a long time. If an jewelry artisan is making copper jewelry, it is better to make sure to coat the handcrafted jewelry they are creating so people enjoy for a long time without polishing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_415" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Unique-Bracelets"><img class="size-full wp-image-415" title="handmade-jewelry-handmade-bracelets-BR75" src="http://copperreflections.com/handmade-jewelry-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/handmade-jewelry-handmade-bracelets-BR75.jpg" alt="Handmade Bracelets, Handcrafted Jewelry, Dolphin Jewelry Bracelets" width="200" height="101" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Handmade Bracelets, Handcrafted Jewelry, Dolphin Jewelry Bracelets</p></div>
<p>So where do you start? The first thing you will need to do is take great pictures of your handcrafted jewelry. “A picture is worth a thousand words” or not. Make sure the photos are in focus clearly showing your design, with small pieces like <a title="Handmade Earrings, Handcrafted Earrings, Wholesale Earrings" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Handmade-Earrings" target="_blank">handmade earrings</a> and bracelets this is very important. Don’t put jewelry on a rock or a hunk of wood, although it is very natural and artsy, it is too hard for people to make out in the seconds you have to catch their attention online. Your handmade jewelry should be on a plain background so it stands out clearly.</p>
<p>Now you need a website, if you’re just starting there are lots of free blogs out there. I prefer the WordPress.com, mostly because it’s easy and has lots of plug-ins to do all the SEO work for you. Blogger is also a great platform, easy to set up your template with lots of widgets and other cool stuff. There are so many free blogs check around for the best match for you. Once you are up and running you can invest more into the site but we are trying to save some money and do it all for free, for now.</p>
<p>Read, read and read more; you can never have too much information. The web is filled with great information; every time you see something new do a search until you understand what it means. SEO is the most important part of getting good search engine rankings. Make sure to have meta title, description and keywords tags. Don’t forget image alt attributes as well. Do your keyword research and write it into your content. Wordpress has lots of plugins that take the guesswork out of SEO.</p>
<p>Off-site SEO factors means links to your site. This is probably the hardest and most time consuming because you need to get related sites to link to you. Make sure your site is ready and has good content that other sites will want to link to. Stick with it and bit by bit links will come. Check other related sites link pages to get more links. Make sure you have your target keywords hypr-linked in your link information.</p>
<p>Do all these things then continually read and update your site as you go; this is a continuing process always needing to be tweaked. Check your statistics to see what is working and what isn’t. Change the things that aren’t working.</p>
<p>To get noticed you will need to join and participate in social networking sites, submit articles, write press releases and get listed in as many related directories as possible.</p>
<p>Time is also an important factor. Everything takes time so try not to get frustrated when things don’t happen overnight. Patience is a necessary virtue in <a title="wholesale handmade jewelry" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/">wholesale handmade jewelry</a> and online marketing.</p>
<p>If you make <a title="handmade jewelry" href="http://www.copperreflections.com/Handmade-Jewelry">handmade jewelry</a> or have a retail store that sells handcrafted artisan jewelry you need to be online! With millions of handmade jewelry websites how do you get your product seen online? It’s not going to be easy and it takes a lot of hard work, not to mention time. If you pay someone to get you to the first page it’s going to cost you. If you do it yourself it will take time, effort and a lot of reading, but it will be worth it and its kind of fun. Even though the competition is fierce, there is still room at the top if you want to play the online marketing game. Good luck to you in all your online marketing efforts!</p>
