I just got done pricing what I would need to get to sell these 10 gauge, sterling bangles that I used to price at 50 retail. The silver market is so volatile now that I will need to retail these at around 140. Each! đłđ¨For context, for the last like 20 years that Iâve been doing this, the price has been so steady ($20-30ish) that I never needed to change my prices according to the market, so what customers experienced was just small gradual increases every couple years. Last November, I did notice that materials were suddenly higher, but I didnât have time to reconfigure all my pricing. I barely have time now and it fills me with anxiety, (hence this great track from Midsommar)So for everyone who bought something sterling before now, feel lucky you did. I will make sure to have plenty of brass and copper at future fairs so that everyone can still wear cool jewelry. Button Factory
