    I haven't seen any threads for this subject before and am hoping
    someone has some information for me.  I am a jewelry designer, but
    have also been making findings - specifically findings geared
    towards lampworkers. I never expected the response that I have
    received - but it has been absolutely overwhelming - to say the
    least.  I am to the point where I cannot even begin to keep up with
    production for the orders.  I have only marketed to a very small
    segment of the buyers, and can't even imagine what kind of sales
    there would be if I actually advertised. 

    I have the initial patents filed with the PTO. Basically, I am
    looking to sell the rights to these designs to someone else.  I can't
    keep up, and I don't want to deal with sending these offshore for
    production, etc.  I'd like to get back to my art jewelry designs -
    right now I'm working myself into the ground as a production house. 

    I already have the market, the sales proof that there is a great
    desire for these findings, and I'm also being approached by stores
    for large orders that I just can't possibly take on right now. 
    These findings are something I could see sold by Rio Grande or
    another jewelry supply company. 

    Does anyone know how I go about getting this business off my hands
    and possibly selling it or licensing the rights to another company? 

    If anyone would like to contact me offline, I can give you a link to
    the site where I sell these findings and any additional information
    you would like from me. 

Catherine
