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.

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

Handcrafted Jewelry
Every piece is made by hand, one at a time, from quality materials — natural stones, crystals, wire, and beads. Here's a sample of the finished inventory included in the sale.
Wire Wrapped Jewelry
Stones and crystals set in hand-coiled wire — no adhesive, no molds. Each setting is built around the individual stone, making every piece unique. Pendants, rings, and bracelets are among the most popular items.
Beaded Jewelry
Intricate beadwork using seed beads, glass beads, and gemstone beads. Bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in a wide range of colors, styles, and price points.
Mixed Media
Pieces that combine wire, beads, metal, and natural elements into layered designs. These tend to be statement pieces and strong sellers at shows.
All finished pieces shown are included in the sale

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

"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.
