Established Artisan Jewelry Business For Sale

12+ years of sales. $20,000 in inventory and supplies. A proven business model at craft shows, wholesale accounts, and referrals — ready for a new owner to take it further.

Asking Price: $20,000 — Open to Reasonable Offers

The Opportunity

This is a turnkey artisan jewelry business with more than 12 years of active selling behind it. It has real inventory, real customers, and a real track record — not a concept or a startup.

The business specializes in handcrafted wire-wrapped, beaded, and mixed-media jewelry, built and sold through craft and trade shows, wholesale relationships, and word-of-mouth referrals.

The seller is stepping away for personal reasons and is ready to hand it off to someone who will run with it.

The asking price is $20,000, and for that you get $20,000 in physical assets alone — finished jewelry, raw materials, tools, and equipment — plus the business framework and seller training.

If you've ever wanted to own a creative, maker-based business with a proven history, this is it.

What You're Getting

For $20,000 you're getting $20,000 in physical assets — and the business, training, and relationships on top of that, effectively for free.

The Inventory

Finished pieces ready to sell — wire-wrapped pendants, beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and mixed-media statement pieces. Plus a substantial stock of raw materials:

  • Copper, sterling silver, artistic, and non-tarnish wire
  • Seed beads, glass beads, gemstone beads
  • Natural stones and crystals in various sizes
  • Clasps, jump rings, ear wires, findings, and hardware

The Tools & Equipment

Everything needed to make jewelry and run show operations — this alone would cost thousands to assemble from scratch:

  • 2 popup canopy tents (12x12 and 12x20)
  • 15 tables in three sizes with black covers for all
  • 8x24 ft backdrop display stand with curtain divider
  • Display stands, busts, risers, cases, and signage

The Knowledge

The seller will personally train the buyer. You're not buying a mystery — you're buying a system. Training covers:

  • Wire wrapping, beadwork, and mixed-media techniques
  • Material sourcing and stone evaluation
  • Pricing strategy for shows, wholesale, and direct sales
  • Show setup, booth operations, and crowd reading
  • Inventory management and supplier relationships

  • Repeat customer base built on word-of-mouth referrals
  • Proven pricing model with real margin history
  • Show relationships and vendor reputation already in place

Three Proven Revenue Channels

This business doesn't depend on a single sales method. Three independent channels generate revenue — and a new owner can grow any or all of them.

Craft & Trade Shows

The primary sales channel. Years of experience at craft fairs, artisan markets, and trade events in the South Houston area and beyond.

  • Proven booth setup and display strategy
  • Established show relationships

Wholesale Sales

The business has sold wholesale to boutiques and retail buyers through craft shows and markets. The show circuit itself is the wholesale channel.

  • Boutique and retail buyer contacts
  • Organic wholesale interest at shows
  • Volume pricing strategy included
  • Repeat wholesale orders

Word of Mouth

Repeat customers and personal referrals have been a consistent revenue driver for years. This kind of loyalty doesn't happen overnight.

  • Loyal repeat customer base
  • Personal referral network
  • Custom order requests
  • Built over 12+ years of quality work

$20,000 in Raw Materials

A massive stock of everything needed to continue making jewelry for years. This alone justifies the asking price.

Why This Isn't a Startup Risk

Starting an artisan jewelry business from scratch means years of work before you see real traction. This business already did all of that.

Starting From Scratch

  • Building inventory over months or years
  • Figuring out which shows are worth doing
  • Developing wholesale relationships from zero
  • Learning techniques through trial and error
  • Buying all your tools and materials upfront
  • Building a customer base from nothing

Buying This Business

  • $20,000 in inventory ready to sell today
  • 12+ years of show knowledge transferred
  • Wholesale relationships already built
  • Seller trains you personally
  • Full professional show setup included
  • Repeat customers and referral network
"I've put more than 12 years into this — the inventory, the techniques, the relationships, the show presence. This didn't happen overnight and it isn't going away quietly. I'm stepping away for personal reasons, not because it isn't working. I want it to go to someone who will love it and grow it the way I did. Training is included, and I'm serious about setting the next owner up for success."
