    Hello i'm new here and hope you can shed some light on the industry.
    i too am  interested in being a jewelry designer, hopefully a
    successful one. I have a few questions about the business. Any amount
    of information would be so helpful and I thank you all in advance. 

    *How many units/items does a retail store order the first time around
    from an unknown designer (1000/2000). Once established what is the
    average order amount? 

    *How many times a year does a store, like Neiman Marcus order from a
    designer? Or does it depend on demand? 

    *How long are you given to fill an order? 

    *When approaching the buying departments of boutiques with more than
    one location (like Fred Segal) do you send a press release/kit to
    only the flagship location or to the individual store locations? 

Thanks all
barbara
