What is Permanent Jewelry?
Permanent jewelry consists of chains that are welded onto you instead of having a clasp, making them "permanent." They can, however, be removed with scissors if necessary. This trend is a fun and exciting experience often enjoyed with friends, family, or even as a couple.
Setting Up Your Permanent Jewelry Business
1. Legal and Administrative Requirements
- File your business with your state and choose a structure like an LLC.
- Apply for a reseller's license or sales tax license to buy supplies at wholesale prices.
- Obtain general liability insurance, especially if participating in markets or pop-ups.
2. Build Your Online Presence
- Secure your domain and social media handles.
- Create a professional website to boost credibility and improve SEO. Platforms like Shopify make it easy to set up and manage your site.
3. Design Your Branding
Invest in cohesive branding with a logo, fonts, and color schemes. This helps build a recognizable identity across social media and your website.
