What does being a jewelry designers job entail?

I want to know about the people that draw up the designs for the jewelry, not the people who make it. I wanted to know after you draw up your designs where do you take them? To a jewelry store? I also wanted to know about how much money you make doing that? Thank you.

The answer to your question could vary but I will attempt to give you some guidance.

Typically, the designers we have worked with are independent (not working for a jewelry company). Many designers choose to operate independently however some work for jewelry manufactures, suppliers, or in some cases directly for the retailer. You would want to have a prototype of your jewelry created by a jeweler and an idea of how to market your jewelry to retailers.

If you are interested in designing fine jewelry you may want to visit a JA show (http://www.ja-newyork.com). As far as how much money you will make goes, it would vary depending upon the type of jewelry you are creating, materials, willingness of buyers/licensees, etc.
