How to Value: Costume Jewellery By Miss K L SLomczynski

 for a number of years now the one thing that I have done is used old broken jewlery and make it into something ne that I have made or designed.

The only consern is how much is broken jewlery worth?

Is it costume jewerlry?

Or have I mistaken things like diamonds for glass or pearls or plastic??

Some times it is easy to find out about an items of jewlery if it is hallmarked or is a known jewelry name like Cartier.

But how do you sort out the wheat from the chaff?

How much is what you have worth?

How much will people be willing to pay?

Also in 2025 how easy is it to spot a forgeries to the real thing?

Over the next few months I am aiming so look into this more and see what I can find out and learn for myslef.

I hope this information helps out my readers too.

Lets talk about REDBUBBLE By Miss K L Slomczynski

 From 1999-2018 I use to work full time in the Art and Media Indusrty.

So if I did this then why do very few people know about me or my work?

When you are asked do you about your eamoyment status the Govement will set what they call a criteria for what they class diffrent types of employement being and also your rights.

Alot of this inforamtion can be found by using the GovUk website.

https://www.gov.uk/

Now one of the area that I use to work in was teaching, Art and Media.

So one of the questions a lot of students would ask me or would be asked was, "Who will you sell your art work?"

So I looked into ways to help and to surport my students into doing this.

One of the ways that a lot of work is sold today is degitial and theirfore on line.

BUt when looking at selling your art work their are a lot of pros and cons once you post an image on social media whether it is to promote a one off piece of art work or something that can be mass-produced.

So I looked into Redbubble for my students and have encluded the link below.

https://www.redbubble.com/

Before looking at selling or buying form Redbubble I would advise that you look at the whole site incliding their terms and contitions when it come to copy right law.

What is Coppy Right?

Copyright law is a legal framework that grants exclusive rights to creators of original works, allowing them to control the reproduction, distribution, and derivative use of their creations. In the United States, copyright law aims to promote art and culture by providing authors the rights to make and sell copies of their works, create derivative works, and publicly perform or display their works. Essentially, copyright protects the intellectual property of creators, ensuring they can benefit from their work. 

https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=copy+right

Redbubble Coppyright Information Link(s)

https://help.redbubble.com/hc/en-us/articles/201579195-Redbubble-IP-Publicity-Rights-Policy

Also who they will pay you if you areable to sell any of your art work.

Redbubble Selling your Art Work Inforamtion Link(s)

https://www.redbubble.com/about/selling

If you are able to sell your art work this way, weldone; I use Redbubble like most online art selling sights to help promote myslef and to keep my art work porfoilio up to date and accessable to people all over the world.

I would also like to say that over the eatrs year I have had people steal my work and sell it pretending it is theirs.  Is is really upsetting due to them getting paid and not me.

So when you work in any industry it is important to know what your rights are and how to protect yourself as much as you can.

KABFA DESIGNS MadeMe By Miss K L Slomczynski


 https://mademe.co.uk/shop/kabfa-designs/


With so many platforms on social media now it can be a really challange to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

Shoping on line or even running a bussiness is not like running a hight street shop.

Both have to deal with keeoing up with the local treads and having that unique selling point to get the attention of the customer to say.

Welcome.

Thank you from you shopping with me.

Thank you for using our services.

So with this in mind I have used a number of difftent online social media sights to see if they could work for me or anyone in the futre.

Unlike retail, that I have worked in the past, it is not about just changin the window and cleaning the shelves; or putting the sales items buy the till.

When trying to sell or promote yourself on line it is a diffrent ball game altogether.

With a picture still painint a 100 words.

It is also about knowing how to have good IT and English skills.

These are things that over time that can be learned or that you can pay some one to do for you.

But the time frame in order to get a sale is not just waiting around for pay day or hoping that people perorder or prebook.

It is about geting them to buy now!.

For years I hated to shop on line.  I loved being able to go to town, shop and then go for something to eat and pay that I did not need to buy the next size up in the dress I just purchased.

But the pet hate of shopping is the ling lines at the till, not having anything in your size, the carryign of bags and car parking.

So being able to just shop on line and have it delivered just buy setting at home not matter what time of day is a plus.

So why do people still love to shop in person?

For me it is the opertunity to just get out of the house and see the really world espically have covid 19 when you did not have a choice but to stay in.


So one of the ways I promote myslef and keep my artwork up to date is by using MadeMe

https://mademe.co.uk/shop/kabfa-designs/

So why not take a look and see if it is the right place for you to shop online to.
