The Holiday Rush

At this time I am experiencing more stress than usual, and for a good reason. People like to give jewelry to their significant others during the holidays and that is the business I am in. I've been into Boston (the Jewelers Building specifically) for supplies and the like about once a week, which is about normal for me, but the volume of things I have been buying has risen dramatically. I recently bought a whole bunch of different size stud earring settings in 14k white gold to make earrings out of the loose diamonds I have accumulated over the past few months. Some are small, some are a little bigger but each is one in the same. The pressure is on me to set the stones and make sure everything looks good. Although the settings are not too expensive I'd rather not screw any up. I'll keep my fingers crossed on that one. The fact is, though, that my training in Nashville is really being used on a daily basis now. I have a ability to make a lot of money in a short amount of time and by golly I'm giving it everything I've got. There will be plenty of time for me to sleep after the holidays, but I still need to think ahead to Valentines Day (which is for me personally the worst day of the year) is right around the corner. Hopefully by then I will be able to do higher value products, as well as much of the same as I am currently. I am trying to accommodate most budgets, presently, but if someone wants a custom made ring then all they have to do is ask. I will make sure to post as often as I can but I have to try to keep my stress to a minimum, as I always do, so I don't get burnt out. Until next time.
