Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Etsy are the best venues due to the 'handmade/vintage/boho' aesthetic. Facebook Marketplace is a good secondary option for local, low-cost sales.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Eco-friendly', 'Music Jewelry', 'Repurposed', and 'Boho Stacking Bangles'. Photograph them on a wrist to show how they drape. Gently clean with a soft dry cloth but do not use harsh chemicals which might strip the plating.
