For studio owners
Starting a permanent jewelry business
Equipment, chain, pricing and the boring admin — set out plainly. We have read the websites of 1245 working studios to build this directory, which is a useful vantage point for writing about what they actually do.
We haven't bench-tested welders and we don't publish specs or prices we can't verify. Where a number would help and we don't have a trustworthy one, we say what to ask instead of inventing it.
