Taking the next step…Are You Ready?

by Robyn Hawk on September 28, 2010

We all talk about taking our Jewelry Design business to the next level, but how many of us have sat down and put a plan on paper?

What would you do if a buyer for a large department store saw a piece of your jewelry and wanted 10 pieces for each of their 20 stores? or even just wanted 5 OOAK pieces for a designer gallery?
Plan for the future you want – not for the life you are living….
This is an article from the Washington Post:

From her basement studio in Vienna, Dina Mackney started designing semiprecious gemstone necklaces and rings eight years ago, following an encounter with a local boutique owner who was taken with a piece she created for herself. Mackney has since caught the attention of the likes of Nordstrom and Saks Jandel, where her collections are sold. And starting this month, the venerable luxury retailer Neiman Marcus will carry Dina Mackney Designs at select stores.”


Go to the full story to see how Dina was able to move from an in home workshop to a free standing studio. Her story of juggling work while raising children is inspirational and her lessons give us the opportunity to learn how to cope with all the issues involved with taking your Jewelry design business “to the next level”.
