Serious question - does anyone make an actual living with a jewelry brand?

DISCUSSION

Im asking this from a very uneducated position as I try to figure out if I can set goals for myself for my future. I want to also learn tips for success from those who really excelled at this during their life. I would like to know 3 things:

  1. I guess it’s up to who ends up seeing this, but is jewelry making something that can pay well? not asking about being a smaller bench jeweler for small stores but more so being your own artist online and having a distinct style / brand.

  2. does anyone here sell mainly from social media? if so how big is your following/brand? Is your brand more of a general custom style or is it branded and designed to be cohesive?

  3. It would be great to know actual revenue numbers or what take home is month to month or year to year, if anyone is comfortable sharing. I think it could be educational and others would find this interesting as well. I hope these questions don’t come off as rude or offend anyone, I ask these questions with upmost respect for everyone’s grind. 💪

Thanks!
