Your jewelry is beautiful and the presentation is flawless. The problem my friend is the country of China.

They sell everything for nothing and charge free shipping!

Flea Markets would be your best option or make up some business cards with your ebay store/listing on them. Network with people you know already and new people that you meet. Once you get a following, Ebay may work for you.

If you want further evidence of the China thing, do a search for jewelry under .99¢ plus free shipping.

It is a real eye opener!

Best wishes to you,

Dont take this the wrong way, but your handmade jewelry looks like the same stuff I can buy at Walmart for the same price.
I have serious doubts as to the metal and gemstone content. It looks like plated costume jewelry.

You need actual photos of the item, not stock photos. As has been pointed out, your photos look computer enhanced.

Another thing, wth is Bijur Jewelry? No one knows your brand name, so putting it in your title is a waste of words. Not only that, your titles are incomplete, your descriptions are the same for everything.

As a buyer, Im going to look at all that, and assume youre an overseas seller lying about item location, and that the jewelry is going to be cheap and tacky, so Im going to go to someone with better listings and photos.

Wrong.

Item Specifics are used in ALL categories. And should be filled out on EVERY listing.

They are what drive the filter buttons on the left of the page when you search.

They are also searchable.

This is true, just want to add that you can add your own item specifics if you want to.  

[castlemagicmemories]

OP, you might want to look at other listings for similiar items; check solds and see what prices you can expect, see how successful listings are set up.

This research is easy for you to do, just click on the option on a search page.  It is in the left, you can choose completed, or sold.  Completed will show you both sold and unsold listings.

Hope this helps.

"rhodium plating 925 sterling silver"

What the heck does that mean?

If it is not solid 925 Sterling silver, then you cannot say it is.

A St Patrick medal is normally not worn "to add an elegant piece of beauty for a night party or business dinner"

How big is it? Does the medal come with a chain? (Its pictured with one)

Oh, and, by the way ... the one pictured is St Christopher, not St Patrick.

Rhodium plating is often put on sterling silver so it will not tarnish.

It is also put on white gold to keep it shiny and prevent the yellow gold from peeking through,

It does not change the content of the metal.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering why all the newer sterling appears fake as in it doesn't tarnish. 

Is there a specific marking for rhodium coated sterling, or gold? 

____________________________________________________________

Have you ever seen Tiffany & Co sterling silver.  They do not use Rhodium plating.  Their silver tarnishes very easily and turns blackish.  Some like it, many do not.

In fact that is one way to tell if a T&C piece is fake - if it is rhodium plated.

On white gold, over time, the ring will start to look yellowish.  Because remember, there is no such thing as pure white gold.  Gold is yellow, with additives to make it white, and it peels off over time.

No there is no mark for the plating.  And the plating itself is not permanent.  It has to be redone over time.

Rhodium plating is very common on gold, platinum, and silver jewelry items.  Rhodium is a white metal in the platinum family that is both very shiny, and prevents tarnish on silver.  It's used on platinum and gold, becuase platinum is dull, and white gold isn't as white as most people think.  It's used on silver to prevent tarnish.  Just because a silver item is rhodium plated, does not mean it isn't solid silver.

OK ... but as a casual jewelry buyer ... I would not know that. And I am willing to bet that a buyer looking to purchase a St Christopher medal for their child or grandchild wouldn't know that either.

The way the OP has it worded, it makes absolutely no sense 😞

________________________________________________

If you have ever bought a piece of sterling silver jewelry or white gold, then yes you would know that just by observation - why are the rhodium plated pieces shinier.

Oh I agree that the average buyer will have no idea what it means.  There's no reason to mention it.  To much information is just as bad as to little.  I was just commenting on the fact that just because it's plated doesn't mean it isn't solid silver.

_____________________________________________

Actually buyers ask me if my white gold pieces are rhodium plated.  That is because those that are not become very dull over time.  For many, they prefer it.

I always mention it in my listings.  It is part of basic information.

You have cat earrings but no mention of cat in title/description...

Why would anyone buy earrings for a cat anyway? It's never going to sit still long enough to get its ears pierced.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll leave now.

Lol....We have seven rescues. You never know....

[castlemagicmemories]

OP, sometimes people are reluctant to buy from a new seller.  You might want to buy some inexpensive items to build some feedback history for you.

Also there are many listings on ebay.  Many don't sell in fourteen days time.

Good Luck to you, though.

You are not making ANY kind of effort. I took a look at just one listing - a necklace that you paid for a bold title and are asking $40 for.

The title says: "Bijur Jewelry Brand New Handmade 925 Sterling Silver Saint Patrick Pendant"

The photos show a pendant that says: "SAINT CHRISTOPHER PROTECT US"

I'm very sorry, but if you can't get such basic info right, there's no sense explaining detailed ways to improve your listings to compete with the millions of other pieces of jewelry for sale here. My best advice to you is to hire a professional editor who is a native English speaker and has experience selling on eBay.

BTW, a search in Jewelry for "saint christopher" yielded 17,161 results starting a 99¢ with free shipping. Yours was not included.

Not trying to be mean, but your prices are way out of line, you can get similar stuff out of china for less than a dollar delivered.

Plus the .925 silver in your title is misleading and can be considered bait and switch.
