Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari or Poshmark as part of a jewelry bundle (lot), or Facebook Marketplace for local pickup. The value is too low to justify high individual shipping and fees on eBay.
Selling Tips
Best sold as part of a 'jewelry lot' to maximize shipping value. Use keywords like 'plum', 'aubergine', 'faux pearl', and 'statement necklace'. Photograph against a white background to show the true color of the purple beads.
