    Hi Tereze, I know exactly where you are coming from.  I have been
    researching some of my options for putting the selling part of the
    business in someone elses hands, too.  One way of finding a jewelry
    rep is to place an ad in certain magazines.  Depending on what type
    of jewelry and to what market you want to sell, you can try Lapidary
    Journal, Women's Wear Daily,  maybe Niche? 

    You can also try using a showroom.  If you sell quantities in the
    100's to 1000's there's one in SoHo where buyers from Barney's and
    other upscale department stores plus jewelry editiors from fashion
    magazines go to look at new, hot stuff.  It's called Fragments - they
    have a web site http://www.fragments.com.  I am not sure, but I think
    they charge $350 per month and 15%.  And if you can manage that much
    volume you can also try sending in press releases to magazines that
    your work would fit in.  At Designer's Day during the MJSA show there
    was a panel of jewelry editors from magazines like Glamour, WWD, Real
    Simple, and other big magazines and they all welcome receiving press
    releases.  If your jewelry happens to fit the theme they are
    featuring they will call you up so they can shoot your jewelry for
    that issue. 

    Hope some of these ideas are what you are looking for.
