Hi all, wondering if there’s interest in putting together another raid train? Figured we are kicking off a new school year so why not? I’m not exactly sure how to set it up but I am willing to learn/help!

This tip goes hand in hand with how I open a lot of my shows: "Remember, it's just jewelry and nothing is that serious!" And a quick poll: What jewelry designer do you dislike selling but grit your teeth and do it anyway? If your choice is not listed, post it in the comments below 👇🏻

A simple concept that many miss. Bigger is better! Don't snap a photo of a small piece of jewelry and leave a bunch of margin/clutter around it. Center it and expand. This is a quick video showing you my basic photography preferences and how you can use a little background magic to clean the whole thing up... Furthermore, there is a batch option on this app and you can edit dozens of photos in one session. I can photograph 50 items in 15 mins, do a batch upload/edit in 15 mins, and have them all listed in another 60 minutes if the music is vibin and the dog doesn't need to go out. Prelisting is no longer miserable and you can be really happy with your photo quality with very little practice! Let me know if any questions. ♥️👏🏻 Thanks, Brad/Threefortytwo

Just curious if anyone has endured allergy flare on their skin from handling jewelry? I have been handling more jewelry this past year (more than normal) since I started having shows, etc. Experiencing some skin breakouts (even on my feet) which I hear can be normal for nickel or metal allergies from handling jewelry. If so, do you find it only happens on your hands or does it affect other areas of the body and what do you use to help with contact of the metals (gloves/barrier creams). Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Vicki

I had trouble finding this same piece anywhere except a couple listings online (one for $25 and one for $450 lol). I'm mostly curious about its origins. When I search for similar pieces by Weiss, almost nothing. But it is strinkingly similar to Regency pieces with the art glass drops. If it wasn't signed I'd probably guess it was Regency. This one just threw me for a loop. Have you seen similar designs by Weiss before? Is it safe to say it's unusual?!? Ignore my dusty tray, TYIA <3
