Never allow your client to observe you working and show them that it is easy for them to do it themselves because you will probably lose their custom. In order to match the design of your custom jewelry to the style of your clients, talk at length with them. To design a piece that is meant to be given as a gift for someone, you need to ask many questions about the person and if possible, arrange to see them.

From time to time clients may ask you to make custom jewelry using parts from their own jewelry. Your client may already have a piece that they just want you to renovate. To avoid destroying a client’s beloved piece, make sure you have the necessary skills to do the work before you accept the assignment. Make sure you find out the details about the piece and the significant special meaning it may contain.
Supplies of pieces from wholesale sources will have to be purchased to make your custom jewelry. While making sure you are buying quality parts and looking for unique jewelry supplies you will have to quote your client a price before you start if you want to ensure payment. Profit making is the name of the game, so to make sure you make it on your work, so always quote 15 to 30 percent over and above the budget requirements to buy the raw materials for the jewelry. After setting aside your intended profit margin, use the remainder as your budget to buy supplies to make the custom jewelry.
