    Or find a willing consignment gallery, price your work for
    wholesale, and stock the consignment gallery with whatever you want.
    You might even get 10% more for it, if the split is 60/40 instead of
    50% as in wholesale selling. It might take a while to develop such a
    relationship with a gallery, but it can be worth its weight in gold.
    If you get in a good consignment gallery, and they start selling more
    and more of your work, they may become willing to give you more and
    more space in their cases. Works for me. I do production jewelry, at
    popular prices, by the way. I keep most of my one-offs for my display
    at retail craft fairs, though a few go to the galleries.
