Hi Mary,

    Detroit is a good place to open up such a business. Understand that
    you will have lots of competition in the field. The Advance building
    and Greenfield Plaza hold about 500 business that are your direct
    competition. With a lot more around the Metro area. You would do well
    to already have three accounts under your belt while working out of
    your home. You will make roughly the same money as if you worked for
    someone else. 

    If your just talk chains and sizing. You will have to average 60-70
    jobs per day with one day turn.around. If you can carve waxes you
    will do better. If you can set diamonds you will do better still. If
    you can engrave and do all the above, plus book keeping. You will
    have a business.
