If you like costume jewelry, you can start a costume jewelry home business rather than real jewelry home business. People love to wear costume jewelry and they are much more affordable than diamond or precious metals.

How to start a costume jewelry home business?

Starting any Jewelry Business requires a business plan. If you like making jewelry and designing jewelry, you can design your own costume jewelry, make one of it for use to market your business and convince lenders to lend you money for your costume jewelry home business. There are many types of costume jewelry and you can make costume jewelry out of so many different materials. You don't have to use expensive materials to make your costume jewelry, but whatever materials you use, they have to come together in an elegant and classy way so that people will go 'wow' over your costume jewelry. You can make necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, belts, watches and anything that you see fit.

Most costume jewelry are colorful to give the clothes you are wearing a contrast. Some people prefer small costume jewelry whereas others prefer large ones that you cannot miss when you see.

To make sure that your costume jewelry home business will have customers, you should make examples of the costume jewelry you want to sell, let your friends and family see them and ask them what they think. If they like them, ask them to wear them to work so that other people can see them and then ask those other people for their opinions.

This is a great way to market your costume jewelry home business before you invest money into it.

Question: Sims 2: Open for Business?

I started a business outside the home with my sim. Its a clothing store, but i also have magazine rack, perfume, and jewelry (i don't know if you can sell those things but that's not the point). I have a cash register, a telephone, and a open/close sign in the lot where my store is located. I had my sim spend all day at the store, and not once did anybody look, browse, try on, or buy anything. The other sims would just come in and sit around and talk. I even used a cheat to play as on of the customers and when i clicked on the clothes rack, all they could do is try on clothes, there was no button that said "buy" or "purchase". I have set a price on all my items to very cheap, but still nothing happens. Is this how its suppose to be or is something wrong?

Answer: Have you set everything individually for sale? From page 9 of the manual:
"To mark items for sale, use the For Sale tool located in the Build Business Tools section of the Business Tracker. Set their price level with the Price Wheel. Some items allow you to set a custom price by typing it in. Then click the item in question to set it "For Sale." Once on sale, the item has a yellow highlight."
The business tracker is in the top right corner of your screen.
