Kim,

    Personally, I would write these people off. No need to be rude but
    ignore their future inquiries. You are not a charity, you are a
    business venture. But take care of those who take care of you. That
    piece you slaved over for hours and hours and spent your CASH to
    acquire the materials for...you can sell it at full price in your
    regular course of business. That's what you do, make jewelry and sell
    at a profit. So DO that. Forget the glommers-on. If you absolutely
    must deal with friends and family, have a set discount you can live
    with and don't budge. 

Just my take on it.
