    The jewelry store I managed for years used to have a jeweler come in
    2ce a week (scheduled times) to pick up and drop off repairs, custom
    work, etc... I'm pretty sure he did work for a lot of other stores in
    the area- and he had two days that were his "errand" days- drop- offs
    and pick-ups. 

    Aside: I know you guys are thinking... jewelry store that doesn't do
    their own repairs? Yup, that was us. No torch, no polishing wheel,
    just jumprings and pliers! We were mostly a cast jewelry store and
    we purchased about 50 different lines..... 

    Back to the point... if you could find a few stores like this to get
    you started it might be worth your while. Our jeweler eventually
    opened up his own storefront as his business grew so large he needed
    to hire employees to work for him- good for him! But I think he
    lasted about 5-7 years in his apartment before he ran out of space. 

Good luck!
Amery
