Jewelry Business

Talk about the toughest business in the world. If you have a name like Brighton, women will buy anything, considering it's all crap.
My GF makes jewelry that is beautiful, people say so, then don't buy. Hate to see her come home from a show crying, as she sold nothing.
It's a fucking crap shoot business.
One Christmas season I worked at a store specializing in holograms, but we were a jewelry store selling some hologram art, but the main income was hologram jewelry. I sold so many pairs of earrings, that for years after the first thing I looked at on a woman was her earrings. As for watches, it was show every customer in the store a watch. See the hologram, told it slightly and see the time. Shy me must have sold 1000+ in those 3 months. Ranging from $10 to $150.
It's all product, presentation and brand. Just like porn.
Then again, I get a mail order catalog from a company that sells clothing and jewelry. Just the cost of the mailings they must be bringing in revenue.
