List the piece with its specifics
Metal, stone, size, weight. On a high value order these are the details a buyer needs before they will pay, not after.
Jewelry
Sell jewelry with the lead time and the deposit built in.
Jewelry is low volume and high value, and a good part of it is made after it is ordered. Take the order and the deposit properly, state the lead time on the page, and let the record carry the rest.

How do I sell jewelry online?
List each piece with the metal, the stone and the size where a buyer expects to find them, and photograph it at a scale that shows what they are actually buying. For made to order work, publish the lead time on the page rather than negotiating it per message, and take a deposit at the point of order so the piece is funded before you start it. Sell from your own branded store, from social and in chat, all off one catalog, so a one-off piece cannot be sold twice. Because the orders are few and valuable, keep every one attached to a customer record with its messages, its deposit and its balance in one place.
How to start selling jewelry.
Getting started
Four steps, in order. Each one is a screen you can open on the first day, not a project.
State the lead time
Put the making time on the page. A buyer who knows it waits calmly; a buyer who finds out afterwards asks every second day.
Take a deposit
Charge part up front through card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer and the balance on completion, so a commission is funded before it is made.
Keep the order and the customer together
Every order sits on a customer record with its history, which is what a repeat commission is built on.
What is different about selling jewelry.
What is different here
Every kind of product has a detail that decides whether the software fits. These are the ones that decide it here.
Made to order has a clock on it
Most of this category is not on a shelf when it is sold. Publishing the lead time and taking a deposit turns a promise into a scheduled piece of work.
Few orders, each one large
One order can be a week of income. That changes what matters: the customer record and the payment trail count for more here than throughput does.
Sizing and specification are permanent
A ring size or a chain length cannot be fixed after delivery the way a garment can be exchanged, so the options on the page have to be exact.
Your buyers are already in a thread.
Where you sell
Jewelry is bought after a conversation. The buyer sees a piece, asks a question about the stone or the size, and decides in the thread.
In your market that usually means Your store, Instagram and In person.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer.
Getting paid
Take card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. On a commission, take a deposit up front and the balance on completion, both against the same order. Automatic payouts to your bank.
Money from card sales lands in your bank account on a rolling two-day schedule. Nothing to claim, nothing to withdraw.

How it reaches the buyer.
Delivery
A high value parcel wants a tracked, insured shipping route and a record of who signed for it.
- Set your shipping rates by zone, by weight or as one flat rate, and the checkout works them out for the buyer instead of you quoting in a thread.
- Offer pickup beside delivery. A buyer who is nearby collects, and the order still goes through the same queue and the same stock count.
- Print the order, mark it packed, mark it sent. The buyer gets the update without you writing a message.
- Every order from every channel lands in one queue, so nothing is fulfilled twice and nothing is missed.
What it costs.
One subscription covers the store, the catalog, the order queue, the customer records and the counter. There is no separate charge for selling in chat, and no charge per kind of product.
Priced and paid in US dollars. Every plan opens with a free trial and no card.

Selling jewelry, answered.
Can I take a deposit and the balance later?
Yes. Take part of the payment when the order is placed and the rest on completion, both recorded against the same order.
Can I sell made to order pieces?
Yes. Publish the piece with its lead time, take the order, and work to a date the buyer already agreed to.
How do I handle ring sizes?
Size is a variant on the product, so the buyer chooses it at checkout and it is on the order rather than in a message you have to find later.
Can I sell a piece that exists only once?
Yes. Set the stock to one and it becomes unavailable everywhere at once, including in chat, the moment it sells.
Where do my customer records live?
In Crate, attached to their orders. On a category where one buyer returns for the next occasion, that history is the asset.
Can I sell in person as well?
Yes. The counter draws down the same stock as the store, so a piece sold at a fair is gone from the site immediately.
