all about my online jewelry school! 🫶

okay so if you're new here, welcome! My name is Serena and a little bit about me — I've been making jewelry for years, had a shop (opened it, closed it, long story lol), and started this page to share everything I've learned about making jewelry and teach you how to make everything I sold in my shop, PLUS everything else I'm learning now 📚

I created an online jewelry school a few years back! how it works is you can hop in anytime and start at the first project or skip to the tenth — once you subscribe you get access to the archive of every project I've made for you, a true road map starting from zero (wire wrapping, beading) all the way up to where I am now, gem setting and making things like this ✨

I've put LOVE and work into this school and into making everything about it feel fluid and easy to learn from. every project comes with a tool list specific to that project, reference sheets, tutorials, and THE BEST PART — a community chat full of everyone making the same jewelry as you, sharing, asking questions, and connecting🥰

oh and access to me 24/7 to answer anything — like where to buy supplies, or how to make a project in gold filled. I got you!

comment "SKOOL" and I'll send you the link with all the info you need + how to sign up

love yaa

Sharing all my secrets in this post

Okayyyy, so I wanted to create this post to share with you how much it cost me to make some of my favorite best-selling styles AND how much I sold them for! (Based on material costs only—not labor, shipping, taxes, etc.)

These core wire wrapping designs were some of my absolute best sellers. These are the foundation designs I always talk about—the pieces I reproduced over and over again, sold hundreds of, and always kept in stock as part of my core collections!

I actually teach you how to make my core wire wrap collections in my Introduction to Wire Wrapping course! I cover 12 different jewelry pieces, from brass earring designs like these to crystal necklaces and simple U-hook earrings. If you're interested in learning how to make these styles, come try the course so you can learn, recreate them, and even sell them in your own shop!

When I closed my shop, I really didn't want these fun styles I sold to disappear just because I moved on to more advanced techniques. These styles SOLD SO WELL, and I wanted to share how to make them to inspire you to create, build a strong foundation, and add styles like these to your own shop!

Comment "WRAP" and I'll send you all the info about the online course straight to your DMs! ✨

The permanent jewelry welder video you've all been begging me for is finally here 😭🔧

Okay so you ASKED and I heard you — I just dropped a 15 min video on YouTube walking you through everything about my permanent jewelry welder, from set up to what I actually use it for 👀

I had SOOO many of you ask for this one so I made it happen! I love my welder for so many different things, and if you're thinking about starting a permanent jewelry business (or just want to add one to your bench), this video will help you decide if it's for you 🙌

Small bizz yap series ✨

welcome back to my new weekly yap series where I sit down and share ALL my experiences from 8 years of running a handmade jewelry shop 🤭 pop up shops, how I actually sold my jewelry, the highs, the lows, the lessons nobody warns you about — so so much more, we are just getting started.

I figured, what's more valuable to my newbies than REAL experiences and a good yap? and trust me, I have SO MUCH to yap about, you all have no idea.

drop what you want me to yap about next in the comments — I'm taking requests 🫶
