Wow Debs they are just gorgeous, i just love the beautiful flower beads. As with pricing yikes always a hard one I know I under price my jewellery. the Flower beads I would happily pay £10 - £15 for a set of them, I don't know if that helps much.

All beauts Batty
Dont know if this helps but the lampworkers who have been around longer always say minimum of £3 for a bead, these clearly took longer than the average bead with expensive inclusions etc. The leather ones for example, you would be underselling at any less than £15 - 18. I know sometimes we think we arent as worthy and knock the price down - Im just as guilty - but you arent going to be doing yourself any favours, and these beads arw of a high enough standard that people may actually wonder why they are so cheap. Hope thats more helpful than scary!

I agree with Lisa, unique designs like this are worth a lot.
Those blue & silver foil beads made me drool over my keyboard.

I'm with the others on this Debs. Those are very good quality beads love, and from what I can see on this monitor your jewellery has been finished to a very high standard too.
If theyre' sterling findings I reckon £15 - £20 for the leather chokers, and a huge amount for the blue foil necklace which I want VERY much. (Let me know if it doesn't sell) If its not sterling I still think £35 or more for it. The jubilee necklace....I LOVE what you've done with the ends of the knitting. Bloody brilliant. I know it's not sterling but it's got to be worth £35+. Those beads are incredible. They're unique. One of a kind. Designer. Irreplaceable. That's worth spending money on, think of it like that
Start high. If nothing sells but people look very interested then maybe near the end of the day you could consider a drop in price but I think the one's you have been given here are minimum anyway.

Pricing is the most difficult part I think, in my very limited experience I have found that there are people out there willing to pay for unique pieces with a good standard of finish - don't under estimate or sell yourself cheap - they are all lovely and good luck.
I also think you need to 'educate' your potential customers - they need to know how much work etc goes into each bead - information cards, inspiration thoughts behind a statement piece - people love a story ...........

Utterly delicious ... all of them. I haven't got a clue about pricing, but I wish you the very best and you certainly deserve to do well with them.
