Geode Earrings, originally uploaded by antigenre.
Nu metal? Not really, but a new shop devoted exclusively on my metalwork. I’m happy to announce that MetaGenre is now up and running! Recently, I’ve been taking a metalsmithing course at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan and have been learning and developing new skills and techniques. I wanted [...]

Bundles of Silvery Joy!
Posted in business, tagged 28 Days Later, commodities prices, halloween, holidays, organization on 31 October 2008 | 1 Comment »
With metals and commodities prices down quite a bit this last week, I felt the need to splurge on some supplies. I’ve got a small handful of events coming up, plus we’re right at the start of the holiday shopping season. I’ve been able to get myself a little better organized than I was at this time last year, [...]

Not anymore! In the interesting in generating as much of a web presence as possible, I decided to open a shop on Big Cartel. And while I’m still in the process of getting it set up and working on the design, I thought I’d give it a bit of a mini-debut. Prices and shipping costs are [...]

This week marks my first week as an almost fully self-employed jewelry designer! I officially ended my full-time position at the non-profit in Princeton that I have been working at for almost a year and a half last week. I’m still working there part-time, but going forward, the majority of my waking hours will now be [...]

International Marketing?

Want to market your shop to audiences in different parts of the world?
Get a cat. Seriously, get yourself a pet who thinks that 4:00 a.m. is a perfectly acceptable time to demand attention and food. Leave your computer running at night, and instead of stumbling back to the blissful oblivion that your warm bed promises after [...]
Team Work 101
Posted in business, marketing, press & promotion, tagged business, etsy, etsynj, marketing, promotion, teamwork on 5 April 2008 | 1 Comment »
Here I sit looking at the new WordPress dashboard, slowy and reluctantly getting used to it. After my last post, in which I panicked a bit about the new layout, I took a break, went for a walk and got a salad from an overpriced, underwhelming salad bar at the local health food store. Since when [...]
Impulse Buying

As I was out and about yesterday evening running errands, I decided on impulse to stop by the local bead store. I was completely out of the vibrant green vintage glass beads that I use in my Nitta earrings, and I wanted to list some more pairs in my shop soon. I thought I would just [...]

Six weeks after disputed elections led to waves of unspeakable violence in Kenya, the clashes seem to be easing and relative calm is returning. This is a welcome respite that is allowing businesses to re-open and people to return to their daily lives, but a lot of damage has been done and the economic effects will not be [...]
Customer Service? An Update…
Posted in business, tagged business, customer service on 13 February 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, within about a day and a half of posting my last post about customer service, I got a surprise in my inbox: a receipt and shipping notice from the people who sold me my first torch. They sent me a free replacement! Very nice of them. It took me by surprise because they never [...]
