The Jewelry Subscription
What is it?
The jewelry subscription is a concept to address our own lived economies. Many value the beauty and uniqueness of handmade jewelry, but the moment we see something we love just isn’t always the moment we have disposable income on hand. While for makers and artists, the income we get through sales also fluctuates, and generally goes back into materials and tools. Often the making itself is interrupted by time spent supplementing our income with other work.
The jewelry subscription is a way to address our economic needs and forge relationships between the maker and those who appreciate the work by contributing a small consistent sum throughout the year, toward the future purchase of a piece of their choosing, which they can redeem whenever the time is right. For me, the maker, the ongoing support of future buyers means the possibility to work consistently and keep the work developing, while sharing the results with the internal community that exchange creates.
How does it work?
You choose an amount you would like to contribute monthly, toward a future purchase. For example, if you choose to send 10€ per month, at the end of the year you can choose a piece for 120€. At whatever point within the year you are ready to receive your piece, choose something from the shop or contact me for details on a special commission. What you have already paid goes toward the sale, and you simply pay the balance if there is one. Simple as that.
In the meantime, I share new work as it comes off the bench with jewelry subscribers first, to keep you in the loop until you choose to claim your piece.
