In your blog entry you mention having things made in China is that what you do? Whenever I feel the desire to by jewelry I want it to be made by that person, that they can claim that their hands shaped and worked the metal, not a stranger. We wouldn't want a wholesale picasso would we?
Hi Kaquyat,
No, I do not get my pieces made in China, I assemble all of my jewelry in my studio in San Francisco, CA. However that does not mean that I don't get components that have been manufactured/created from all over the world (charms, chains, beads).
It is a fact that if your business grows that you'll need more hands to help you. It's up to the individual business to decide where to find those resources and labor, I am not advocating one method over another.
Thanks for your comment!
